Tom Lane d272e2f8d8 Fix LISTEN/NOTIFY race condition reported by Laurent Birtz, by postponing
pg_listener modifications commanded by LISTEN and UNLISTEN until the end
of the current transaction.  This allows us to hold the ExclusiveLock on
pg_listener until after commit, with no greater risk of deadlock than there
was before.  Aside from fixing the race condition, this gets rid of a
truly ugly kludge that was there before, namely having to ignore
HeapTupleBeingUpdated failures during NOTIFY.  There is a small potential
incompatibility, which is that if a transaction issues LISTEN or UNLISTEN
and then looks into pg_listener before committing, it won't see any resulting
row insertion or deletion, where before it would have.  It seems unlikely
that anyone would be depending on that, though.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

The JDBC, ODBC, C++, Python, and Tcl interfaces have been moved to the
PostgreSQL Projects Web Site at http://gborg.postgresql.org for separate
maintenance.  A Perl DBI/DBD driver is available from CPAN.

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/.  For more information look at our web
site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
