<para>
Avoid potential deadlock during catalog cache initialization
(Nikhil Sontakke)
</para>
<para>
In some cases the cache loading code would acquire share lock on a
system index before locking the index's catalog. This could deadlock
against processes trying to acquire exclusive locks in the other,
more standard order.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Fix dangling-pointer problem in <literal>BEFORE ROW UPDATE</> trigger
handling when there was a concurrent update to the target tuple
(Tom Lane)
</para>
<para>
This bug has been observed to result in intermittent <quote>cannot
extract system attribute from virtual tuple</> failures while trying to
do <literal>UPDATE RETURNING ctid</>. There is a very small probability
of more serious errors, such as generating incorrect index entries for
the updated tuple.

<para>
Disallow <command>DROP TABLE</> when there are pending deferred trigger
events for the table (Tom Lane)

Formerly the <command>DROP</> would go through, leading to

Support use of dlopen() in FreeBSD and OpenBSD on MIPS (Tom Lane)

<para>
There was a hard-wired assumption that this system function was not

instead, since more recent versions have it.
