Subject: [PATCH] Fix for rare race-condition-like failure: if a backend
 receives SIGUSR2 (notify/SI-overrun interrupt) while it is in process of
 doing proc_exit, it is possible for Async_NotifyHandler() to try to start a
 transaction when one is already running.  This leads to Asserts() or worse. 
 I think it may only be possible to occur when frontend synchronization is
 lost (ie, the elog(FATAL) in SocketBackend() fires), but that is a standard
 occurrence after error during COPY.  In any case, I have seen this failure
 occur during regression tests, so it is definitely possible.
