I've changed the loop slightly.  Do you find this more readable than the
way the loop was previously written?

I've incorporated these changes into this version of the patch, with
small changes.

With elog(ERROR, ..) it's still reported, but the user isn't fooled into
thinking that the error is to be expected, and hopefully we would see a
bug report.  If it's impossible to tell the two errors apart, we might
have subtly broken code carried around for who knows how long.

Please let me know what you think about this patch.  Thanks for your
work so far.
