This is a bit disturbing:

DELETE FROM vactst WHERE i != 0;
VACUUM FULL vactst;

DELETE FROM vactst;
SELECT * FROM vactst;
i
======================================================================
This is today's CVS HEAD, plus some startup/shutdown logic changes in
postmaster.c that hardly seem like they could be related.
I couldn't reproduce it in a few tries. A reasonable guess is that
it's triggered by autovacuum deciding to vacuum the table sometime
before the VACUUM FULL starts. Anyone want to try to reproduce it?
