@@ -2167,8 +2175,7 @@ RestoreSnapshot(char *start_address)
/* Copy SubXIDs, if present. */
if (serialized_snapshot.subxcnt > 0)
{
- snapshot->subxip = ((TransactionId *) (snapshot + 1)) +
- serialized_snapshot.xcnt;
+ snapshot->subxip = ((TransactionId *) (snapshot + 1)) + xcnt;
memcpy(snapshot->subxip, serialized_xids + serialized_snapshot.xcnt,
serialized_snapshot.subxcnt * sizeof(TransactionId));
}

It is not clear why you want to change this in RestoreSnapshot when
nothing related is changed in SerializeSnapshot? Can you please add
some comments to clarify it?
