Hey,

We performed an upgrade via pg_upgrade from 9.1 to 9.3 a while back, and I'm almost certain we were bitten by this bug:

http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20140530121631.GE25431@alap3.anarazel.de

Finding the discussion is nice... but what do we do to fix this? I read through the discussion, and it *seems* we can delete the 0000 file and restart since it's only an 8k file and we haven't gone far enough to wrap into a new 0000 file. Will that actually work, though? Or is it too late, since something has already requested that invalid transaction? What do we do?
