Hmmm,

the first FATAL is emitted from catcache.c in line 988. I
think that the cache->busy lives in shared memory and isn't
protected against concurrent usage, as it should be. Cache
#10 is RELNAME. That really makes sense, because most of the
tests I'm running parallel now issue CREATE TABLE commands
first.

It is already down to 100 digits after the decimal point. I
don't want to lower it too much, but maybe 30 or 50 are
enough too - no?
