Tom,

one of our customer with 3TB table it uses now in production (8.2) awhile (2
weeks) and it works pretty well. He had a corrupted data in TOASTed table and
now his system is stable without random crashes. I plan to use this patch in
official Solaris build, but I prefer do not have differences between main stream
and solaris binaries. Would be possible to backported this patch?

Thanks Zdenek
