Here we go, that wasn't too hard :-)
Apart from adding the error handling, it does one more thing: it changes
the errormode when loading the DLLs. Previously if a DLL was broken, or
referenced other DLLs that couldn't be found, a popup dialog box would
appear on the screen. Which had to be clicked before the backend could
continue. This patch also disables the popup error message for DLL
loads.
I think this is something we should consider doing for the entire
backend - disable those popups, and say we deal with it ourselves. What
do you other win32 hackers thinnk about this?
In the meantime, this patch fixes the error msgs. Please apply for 8.1
and please consider a backpatch to 8.0.

Yeah, its not that exciting but that error message would throw your
average user.
I've attached a patch which calls CommandCounterIncrement() in each of the
grant loops.

don't have to clog the CPU's L2 cache with a tens-of-KB pointer array.
If we ever decide to adopt a more dynamic allocation method for shared
buffers, we'll probably have to revert this patch, but in the meantime
we might as well save a few bytes and nanoseconds. Per Qingqing Zhou.

ResourceOwner mechanism already released all reference counts for the
cache entries; therefore, we do not need to scan the catcache or relcache
at transaction end, unless we want to do it as a debugging crosscheck.
Do the crosscheck only in Assert mode. This is the same logic we had
previously installed in AtEOXact_Buffers to avoid overhead with large
numbers of shared buffers. I thought it'd be a good idea to do it here
too, in view of Kari Lavikka's recent report showing a real-world case
where AtEOXact_CatCache is taking a significant fraction of runtime.

shutdown callback routines to eliminate kluges like having ProcKill

order of operations during shutdown is predictable and what you would
expect given the module layering.
