I see the failure in xlogutils.c.
Oops I'm mistaken,another is smgrnblocks call
in RelationGetNumberOfBlocks() and I didn't
change it at all.
I don't like this fix either and I intend to change
at higher level first. However it seems to me
that checking relkind every time is not only ugly
but also unreliable.

I don't stick to my change.
Please change as you prefer.
