"all tuples visible" flag in heap page headers.  The flag update *must*
be applied before calling XLogInsert, but heap_update and the tuple
moving routines in VACUUM FULL were ignoring this rule.  A crash and

to appear visible in seqscans when they should not be.  This might explain
recent reports of data corruption from Jeff Ross and others.

In passing, do a bit of editorialization on comments in visibilitymap.c.
