I have confirmed that the clog/subtrans fixes allow us to start up
while in hot standby on otherwise problematic base backups.

I think Daniel has run into this problem more than anyone else, so hearing it's fixed for him makes me feel a lot better that it's been resolved. I'd characterize this problem as a medium grade data corruption issue. It's not security issue bad that it needs to be released tomorrow, but a backbranch release of at least 9.0/9.1 that includes it would be a big relief for people nervous about this. I'd hate to see that slip forward to where it gets sucked into the holiday vortex.
