That's the first thing I did after seeing the failure, and I saw nothing after 2~3 hours of pgbench :) The second thing I did was to revert back to HEAD with more logging in the area, but I was not able to see my error again.

There is a large pool of bug reporters, hopefully one of them may be able to help.. -- Michael
