    Fix logical decoding bug leading to inefficient reopening of files. · b2f6f749
    Andres Freund authored
    When spilling transaction data to disk a simple typo caused the output
    file to be closed and reopened for every serialized change. That happens
    to not have a huge impact on linux, which is why it probably wasn't
    noticed so far, but on windows that appears to trigger actual disk
    writes after every change. Not fun.
    
    The bug fortunately does not have any impact besides speed. A change
    could end up being in the wrong segment (last instead of next), but
    since we read all files to the end, that's just ugly, not really
    problematic. It's not a problem to upgrade, since transaction spill
    files do not persist across restarts.
