With a 1min threshold, after loading a table "v" with a million
rows, beginning a repeatable read transaction on a different
connection and opening a cursor against that table, deleting almost
all rows on the original connection, and waiting a few minutes I
see this in the open transaction:

test=# analyze verbose v;
INFO:  analyzing "public.v"
INFO:  "v": scanned 4425 of 4425 pages, containing 1999 live rows and
0 dead rows; 1999 rows in sample, 1999 estimated total rows
ANALYZE
test=# select count(*) from v;
ERROR:  snapshot too old

Meanwhile, no errors appeared in the log from autovacuum.
