Well, we are NOT paying a stat() call on every single file close,
whether Simon wants it or not.  PG_TRACE1 doesn't even do anything
on non-Solaris platforms, for pete's sake.

Perhaps it would be reasonable to define trace_temp_files as the minimum
file size to log; then you could do something like

	if (trace_temp_files > 0)
	{
	    	if (stat(vfdP->fileName, &filestats) < 0)
			elog(LOG, ...);
		else
		{
			if (filestats.st_size / BLCKSZ >= trace_temp_files)
				ereport(LOG, ...);
			PG_TRACE1(temp__file__cleanup, filestats.st_size);
		}
	}

Note that elog(ERROR) is quite inappropriate here.
