The problem I was seeing before is that when the postmaster was shutdown
properly, log_cnt in the sequence record was saved with whatever value it
had at the time. So when it loaded from disk it would have a value greater
than zero resulting in no XLogInsert until you'd exceded log_cnt calls to
nextval.

AFAICT, your patch fixes this problem, as I can't reproduce it now.

Thanks!
