Hi Michael,

Thanks for looking into this.

I went through the other places that write a WAL record and then
change state races with the checkpointer. I found three more cases
and reported them in separate threads.

One is multixact creation [1].

The other two are CLOG truncation and hash index bucket allocation [2].

The other paths I checked are safe.
