I assume it is this TODO item:

        o Prevent long-lived temporary tables from causing frozen-xid
          advancement starvation

          The problem is that autovacuum cannot vacuum them to set frozen xids;
          only the session that created them can do that.

but am confused how the fix worked.  Have all of these backends been
active for 1 billion transactions?
