This is odd. I updated earlier today, and just to make sure I did a make
distclean ; cvs update, and rebuilt now. I still get the same stacktrace
showing portalmem.c:574, but in the postmaster log the assertion line is
attributed to line 561, which does have an assert.
The error related to the control file was due to an errant script I had
which did an rm -rf data ; initdb -D data from underneath a postmaster
that was in the process of shutting down.
