I noticed in the 7.4 release that in contrib/pg_autovacuum, args->logfile is
not initialized if a log file is not specified on the command line.  This
causes an immediate segfault on systems that fill allocated memory with some
value other than zero (my FreeBSD machine uses 0xD0).

Several crashes later I discovered that args->user, password, host, and port
are also used without being initialized.

This doesn't appear to be fixed in CVS and I came up empty on a mailing list

Try to reduce confusion about what is a lock method identifier, a lock
method control structure, or a table of control structures.

. Use type LOCKMASK where an int is not a counter.

. Get rid of INVALID_TABLEID, use INVALID_LOCKMETHOD instead.

. Use INVALID_LOCKMETHOD instead of (LOCKMETHOD) NULL, because
  LOCKMETHOD is not a pointer.

. Define and use macro LockMethodIsValid.

. Rename LOCKMETHOD to LOCKMETHODID.

. Remove global variable LongTermTableId in lmgr.c, because it is
  never used.

. Make LockTableId static in lmgr.c, because it is used nowhere else.
  Why not remove it and use DEFAULT_LOCKMETHOD?

. Rename the lock method control structure from LOCKMETHODTABLE to
  LockMethodData.  Introduce a pointer type named LockMethod.

. Remove elog(FATAL) after InitLockTable() call in
  CreateSharedMemoryAndSemaphores(), because if something goes wrong,
  there is elog(FATAL) in LockMethodTableInit(), and if this doesn't
  help, an elog(ERROR) in InitLockTable() is promoted to FATAL.

. Make InitLockTable() void, because its only caller does not use its
  return value any more.

. Rename variables in lock.c to avoid statements like
        LockMethodTable[NumLockMethods] = lockMethodTable;
        lockMethodTable = LockMethodTable[lockmethod];

. Change LOCKMETHODID type to uint16 to fit into struct LOCKTAG.

. Remove static variables BITS_OFF and BITS_ON from lock.c, because
  I agree to this doubt:
 * XXX is a fetch from a static array really faster than a shift?
