I didn't find 6200 when looking for mentions of this problem. So thanks for that. I have read the thread now and I guess it could be the same kind of thing. I have tried creating a cut-down version of what is happening for real, but that didn't cause the problem. I do have a bunch of core files, but I'm not (yet!) familiar with pg code so I am unable to usefully analyse it. One idea I saw mentioned in #6200 is of using another HS. I didn't think of that before. I may try creating another (or more) of them to see if I can reproduce it more quickly.
