It turns out that this patch is what's making buildfarm member
chipmunk fail in contrib/pg_visibility [1]. That's easily reproduced
by running the test with shared_buffers = 10MB. I didn't dig further
than the "git bisect" result:
$ git bisect bad
82a4edabd272f70d044faec8cf7fd1eab92d9991 is the first bad commit
commit 82a4edabd272f70d044faec8cf7fd1eab92d9991

hio: Take number of prior relation extensions into account
but I imagine the problem is that the patch's more aggressive
relation-extension heuristic is causing the table to have more
pages than the test case expects. Is it really a good idea
for such a heuristic to depend on shared_buffers? If you don't
want to change the heuristic then we'll have to find a way to
tweak this test to avoid it.
