Given the recent MultiXact patches, I no longer see any bugs in SSI
which have not been there since the start, and these are in such
remote corner cases that there have so far been no reports of
anyone hitting them.  I will wait until after this emergency
release to patch those; the risk/benefit ratio of doing something
so quickly just doesn't seem good.
