yes it is. Ok, I see what I did wrong with my test that showed v2 working in
EXEC_BACKEND. when it was reentering the startup hook, it was skipping
the code under (!found) for shared memory existing. That is also where I
had the code to call GetNamedLWLockTranche. So, that's wrong
( which is what you also mentioned above) I moved
the GetNamedLWLockTranche outside of the (!found) block in the test.
