	 * we can reinterpret V as a uniform random number in the range 0 to p.
	 * Therefore, instead of choosing a new V, we just adjust p to be
	 * the appropriate fraction of its former value, and our next loop
	 * makes the appropriate probabilistic test.
	 *
	 * We have initially K > k > 0.  If the loop reduces K to equal k,
	 * the next while-test must fail since p will become exactly zero
	 * (we assume there will not be roundoff error in the division).
	 * (Note: Knuth suggests a "<=" loop condition, but we use "<" just

 * acquire_sample_rows -- acquire a random sample of rows from the table
 *
 * As of May 2004 we use a new two-stage method:  Stage one selects up
 * to targrows random blocks (or all blocks, if there aren't so many).
 * Stage two scans these blocks and uses the Vitter algorithm to create
 * a random sample of targrows rows (or less, if there are less in the
 * sample of blocks).  The two stages are executed simultaneously: each
 * block is processed as soon as stage one returns its number and while
 * the rows are read stage two controls which ones are to be inserted
 * into the sample.
 *
 * Although every row has an equal chance of ending up in the final
 * sample, this sampling method is not perfect: not every possible
 * sample has an equal chance of being selected.  For large relations
 * the number of different blocks represented by the sample tends to be
 * too small.  We can live with that for now.  Improvements are welcome.
 *
 * We also estimate the total numbers of live and dead rows in the table,
 * and return them into *totalrows and *totaldeadrows, respectively.
 *
 * An important property of this sampling method is that because we do
 * look at a statistically unbiased set of blocks, we should get
 * unbiased estimates of the average numbers of live and dead rows per
 * block.  The previous sampling method put too much credence in the row
 * density near the start of the table.
 *
 * The returned list of tuples is in order by physical position in the table.
 * (We will rely on this later to derive correlation estimates.)
