Hello,
I wanted to review the patch. But the patch is applied with errors. I've
rebased the local copy and have done review on it. I'm not sure is it
properly to send rebased patch by reviewer, so I haven't sent it to
avoid confuses.

I think this is good fixes. I've checked them. And in my opinion they
are correct.
The code also is good.

I've done this tests. Before the patch server crashes on vacuum command.
After applying the patch server doesn't crash on vacuum command.
I have run regression and TAP tests. They all passed without error.
I think the patch can be marked as "Ready for Committer" after rebase.
