I've tested this:
psql to a backend in a test db, do create tablespace
kill -9 (using taskman, say about 5 seconds later)
psql to a backend - tablespace is there. do drop tablespace
kill -9 (using taskman, say about 5 seconds later)
psql to a backend - tablespace is gone


create database also appears to work from what I can tell.


Is that enouhg testing, or are more steps needed?

It's #defined to stat(), which should work. It won't know anything about
our symlinks, but that shouldn't matter.
