Now that I've got a little better idea of what this code does, I've noticed something interesting... this issue is happening on an 8-way machine, and NUM_SLRU_BUFFERS is currently defined at 8. Doesn't this greatly increase the odds of buffer conflicts? Bug aside, would it be better to set NUM_SLRU_BUFFERS higher for a larger number of CPUs?
Also, something else to note is that this database can see a pretty high transaction rate... I just checked and it was doing 200TPS, but iirc it can hit 1000+ TPS during the day. -- Jim C.
