Try putting "RequestCheckpoint(true)" in dbcommands.c just before

It looks like the bgwriter is not quite up-to-speed for this, either;
you should rearrange things near line 350 of bgwriter.c so that
smgrcloseall is performed before marking the checkpoint done in shmem.
Else RequestCheckpoint could come back before the files are all closed.
seems to do the trick. patch attached.
I did wonder if there should be a call that instead of forcing a flush
could tell bgwriter just to forget about the file(s) because we're
discarding them. But that was just idle speculation - I haven't looked
at bgwriter at all.
Not necessary, as long as you put the checkpoint after the DropBuffers
call in dbcommands.c. The bgwriter won't find anything to write.
What about other databases? Or won't the forced checkpoint affect them?
