With this afternoon's CVS sources, I got a failure in the 'polygon'
regression test while running the parallel-mode tests:

  --
  CREATE TABLE POLYGON_TBL(f1 polygon);
+ ERROR:  heap_update: (am)invalid tid
  INSERT INTO POLYGON_TBL(f1) VALUES ('(2.0,0.0),(2.0,4.0),(0.0,0.0)');

(plus many subsequent diffs arising from the lack of polygon_tbl).

This doesn't seem to be very repeatable --- I've only seen it once in
about a dozen tries.  But there's a problem in there somewhere.  I am
cycling the tests now in hopes of duplicating the failure.

There are only four heap_update() calls performed during this command,
all arising directly or indirectly from creation of the TOAST table:

#1  0xbe110 in UpdateStats (relid=10, reltuples=1000) at index.c:1742

#1  0xbe110 in UpdateStats (relid=1, reltuples=1000) at index.c:1742

#1  0xbdb70 in setRelhasindex (relid=145156, hasindex=1 '\001') at index.c:1487

#1  0xddd78 in AlterTableCreateToastTable (relationName=0x23710 "",
    silent=-48 'Å') at command.c:1696

My suspicions are focused on the last one in AlterTableCreateToastTable,
but I can't prove it yet ...

Has anyone else seen something like this?  Any ideas what's wrong?

                        regards, tom lane
