He referred to using pg_dumpall/pg_dump. But that bug was erroring out on pg_clog, not pg_subtrans, right? Getting such errors on pg_subtrans indicates corruption or a bug somewhere, we don't do them if the to-be-looked up xid is older than TransactionXmin and we zero pg_subtrans at restarts. My gut feeling is thats it's related to foreign key locks doing XactLockTableWait()s on too old transactions or something like that.
