I have run them through a compile and a few tests and uploaded them to 
the usual location at

One thing I wanted to discuss is related to a recent discussion on the 
hackers mailing list with respect to possible btree corruption due to 
xxid not being suitable. With a single origin setup, there is not 
problem during normal operation. But even then, any failover of move set 
could immediately cause the btree on the xid only (not the one on 
node-id, xid) to corrupt. I remember that this index was added because 
of the backend failure to use the one with the node-id. But that IMO 
doesn't warrant the risk of corrupting the index at the very time there 
is already trouble in the house (move set or failover isn't done because 
it is such a boring day).

I say we should remove that index again.
