I received an off-list confirmation that a large CREATE INDEX could
complete normally on a database that previously showed the error,
using that snapshot of 11 stable.

I'm really pleased with this experiment: it seems there are plenty of
people willing to test on Windows if we can supply builds, in
particular people who've run into a bug. This makes me think that I
should figure out how to get cfbot to spit out a builds for all
commitfest entries so that proposed fixes and features are
automatically available in a format usable by anyone with Windows and
no special developer tools. The only problem is the space
requirement; if I just turn that on naively it'll eat 2-3TB of
appveyor's archive space and they might hate me, so I'll need to come
up with a way to push the zip files to external storage and keep just
the latest one, and make sure it's clear which master commit + patches
went into the build.
