I wonder if we need to move the call to RegisterSegmentBoundary() to somewhere before WALInsertLockRelease() for this to work as intended. Right now, boundary registration could take place after the flush pointer has been advanced, which means GetSafeFlushRecPtr() could still return an unsafe position. Nathan
