This reduces the expected cost to one seek, rather than one seek per

will cause a relcache flush and so the md.c file descriptor will be
closed; when it is re-opened we will re-determine the last segment.

machines (feature added by Bruce).

there is no protection at all against creating a column of a domain while
we are altering the domain.
