Sorry, two more things... Will increasing shared_buffers make this less likely to occur? Or is this just something that's likely to happen when there are things like seqscans that are putting buffers near the front of the LRU? (The 8.0.3 buffer manager does something like that, right?)
Is this something that a test case can be created for? I know someone submitted a framework for doing concurrent testing... -- Jim C.
