Patch committed.  There are still some loose ends to clean up:

* I need to finish making an xlog-reset utility for contrib.

* I stubbed out shmctl(IPC_STAT) in the BeOS and QNX4 emulations of
  SysV shared memory (src/backend/port/beos/shm.c,
  src/backend/port/qnx4/shm.c).  This means that the new code to detect
  postmaster-dead-but-old-backends-still-running will never detect any
  problem on those platforms.  Perhaps people who use those platforms
  can test and contribute real implementations?

However, these shouldn't affect testing.

Great, then let's go with a RC1 on Friday and see if we can get 7.1 out in
'02 :)
