The problem I was seeing before is that when the postmaster was shutdown 
properly, log_cnt in the sequence record was saved with whatever value it 
had at the time.  So when it loaded from disk it would have a value greater 
than zero resulting in no XLogInsert until you'd exceded log_cnt calls to
nextval.  

AFAICT, your patch fixes this problem, as I can't reproduce it now.  

Thanks!
