Pushed a commit for this, with additional improvements to autovacuum's
log output from:
LOG:  automatic vacuum of table "postgres.public.frak": index scans: 0
      pages: 0 removed, 1672 remain
      skipped 1 pages due to buffer pins
      tuples: 0 removed, 309959 remain, 309774 are dead but not yet removable
      buffer usage: 4258 hits, 0 misses, 0 dirtied
      avg read rate: 0.000 MB/s, avg write rate: 0.000 MB/s
      system usage: CPU 0.00s/0.04u sec elapsed 0.46 sec

as the 'skipped ...' line didn't really look in line with the rest.

Greetings,
