+       Fix possible crash if a cache reset message is received during

+ 
+      <para>
+       Previously, if an unprivileged user ran <literal>ALTER USER ... RESET
+       ALL</> for himself, or <literal>ALTER DATABASE ... RESET ALL</> for
+       a database he owns, this would remove all special parameter settings
+       for the user or database, even ones that are only supposed to be
+       changeable by a superuser.  Now, the <command>ALTER</> will only
+       remove the parameters that the user has permission to change.

+ 
+      <para>
+       In some cases the context-printing function would fail because the
+       current transaction had already been rolled back when it came time
+       to print a log message.

+      </para>
+ 
+      <para>
+       This behavior has been observed on BSD-derived kernels including OS X.
+       It resulted in an entirely-misleading startup failure complaining that
+       the shared memory request size was too large.
