Since 82a4edabd27 we can bulk extend relations. The bulk relation extension logic has a heuristic component. Normally the heurstic does not trigger in the occasionally-failing test case, as the relation is only extended once. But with very small shared_buffers the limits for the number of buffers pinned at once prevent the extension from happening at once. With the second "bulk" extension, the heuristic kicks in, and the relation ends up one block bigger. That's ok from a correctness perspective, but changes the results of the test query due to one additional block. We discussed a few more expansive fixes, but for now have decided to avoid this by making the table a bit smaller.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
