We had a report of the subject message during testing a while back
and attempted to address the issue. It can result in a LOG level
message and the accumulation of files in the pg_serial SLRU
subdirectory. We haven't seen a recurrence, until I hit it during
testing of the just-posted patch for SSI DDL. I re-read the code
and believe that the attached is the correct fix.
