Hmm, that's an invalid VXID, which would ordinarily mean that nothing
is holding the lock. There is a passing mention in mvcc.sgml that
SIRead locks sometimes need to be held past transaction end, so maybe
what you're looking at is such a lock that is no longer associated
with a specific transaction. I have to disclaim knowing much of
anything about the SSI code, though.
