New kind of crash?

Folks,

This is one I've never seen before:

=> select generate_master_tables();
WARNING:  AbortTransaction while in COMMIT state
PANIC:  cannot abort transaction 9387287, it was already committed
PANIC:  cannot abort transaction 9387287, it was already committed
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed.
Time: 42259.753 ms
!>

Interestingly, Postges came back up on its own after about a minute and
seems to be OK.  The stored procedure in question is one which creates
about 600 tables.  This actually exceeds max_locks_per_transaction, but
what happened above is not the normal failure for that.

Note that the tables were, in fact, created, and as far as I can tell
there's no corruption of the database.
