 * have to be treated as running XIDs by other backends.
 *
 * We also keep track of whether the cache overflowed (ie, the transaction has
 * generated at least one subtransaction that didn't fit in the cache).
 * If none of the caches have overflowed, we can assume that an XID that's not
 * listed anywhere in the PGPROC array is not a running transaction.  Else we
 * have to look at pg_subtrans.

 * correctly shown as holding locks.  A prepared transaction PGPROC can be
 * distinguished from a real one at need by the fact that it has pid == 0.
 * The semaphore and lock-activity fields in a prepared-xact PGPROC are unused,
