I'm not sure it's that recent, I think I've had 1 or 2 such errors
ever since I've been running the "runcheck".

What I will say is that the parallel running arrived at around the
same time as the new psql and I didn't have an old version available
to run the tests until sometime after. (had to download and build 6.5!)

Quite possible, although something recent has aggrevated it somewhat ;-)

Has anyone used CVS -D date to backtrack to the date it first started?

    It  also  spit out a "Buffer leak" message once for me today.
    Did not appear again. But be warned.

It seems that conflicts of the initialization of some backends cause
above NOTICE messages.
Those backends would use the same XIDTAGs for the same relations
in case of LockAcquire()/LockRelease() because xids of those backends
are'nt set before starting the first command. When one of the backend
call LockReleaseAll(),it would release all together.

If we set pid member of XIDTAG to the pid of each backend
,we are able to distinguish XIDTAGs.
But there may be some reasons that the member is used only for
userlock.

Oooh, that would nicely explain Keith's observation that it seems to
happen at backend startup.  I guess we need to select an initial XID
earlier during startup than we now do?

I'm not sure it's possible or not.
If startup sequence in InitPostgres() is changed,we may hardly
find the place to start transaction during backend startup.

Seems the unique place we could call StartTransacationCommand()
during backend startup is between InitCatalogCahe() and InitUserId()
in InitPostgres() now.
I tried the following patch and it seems work at least now.
