Re: Index corruption

I trawled through the first, larger dump you sent me, and found multiple
index entries pointing to quite a few heap tuples:

Both indexes show identical sets of duplicates, which makes it pretty
hard to credit that it's a within-index problem.

You mentioned that the test had been allowed to run for a good while
after the first slave error was noted. So it seems there's no question
that we are looking at some mechanism that allows the first few entries
on a heap page to be lost and overwritten :-(, and that this happened
several times over the course of the larger run.
