Hmmm,

    the  first  FATAL  is  emitted from catcache.c in line 988. I
    think that the cache->busy lives in shared memory  and  isn't
    protected  against  concurrent  usage, as it should be. Cache
    #10 is RELNAME. That really makes sense, because most of  the
    tests  I'm  running  parallel now issue CREATE TABLE commands
    first.

    It is already down to 100 digits after the decimal point.   I
    don't  want  to  lower  it  too  much, but maybe 30 or 50 are
    enough too - no?
