Are you sure you're not missing some earlier records for this xact? I
see a HEAP_CONFIRM record without any preceding HEAP_INSERT. This
doesn't make any sense, though I half-suspect that that's the actual
problem: we have a HEAP_CONFIRM without anything to confirm. (I
actually doubt that you omitted WAL records, but I must still ask if
it's a simple mistake, just to be sure.)

If you really do have all the records for the xact whose commit record
is at 5A6/3DC86BA8, then the immediate problem is obvious: control
flow within ReorderBufferCommit() expects to have found a specinsert
that corresponds to a HEAP_CONFIRM or
REORDER_BUFFER_CHANGE_INTERNAL_SPEC_CONFIRM, but that assumption has
somehow been violated -- specInsert is still NULL, leading to a
segfault. I have no idea why that should be right now; that's just
what it looks like on the face of it.
