Well, there's the smoking gun ... somebody marked (27,2) as XMIN_COMMITTED,
showing that they thought 46034931 was committed, while someone else marked
(27,43) as XMAX_INVALID, showing that they thought 46034931 was aborted. So
we have some kind of very-infrequent breakage in transaction commit-state
lookup. Or a hardware problem, but I suspect we are looking at a bug.

Could you check out what pg_clog has for transaction 46034931? This would be
pg_clog/002B (which dates your problem to Dec 29 BTW), byte at offset 39BFC
hex or 236540 decimal. I forget which way the bits run within the byte but
will look it up if you can get me the value of that byte.

I'm off to take a real close look at what was done to the pg_clog code
during the 7.4 cycle ...

regards, tom lane
