Created attachment 91419 [details] Patch to print rollback goal
The rollback goal is compared with transaction id's. Transaction id's are 4 byte ints with the property of ordering. There are no other guarantees on the value. In fact, there have been mumblings about changing the contents to something else (not by me). I'm reluctant to expose the tid value even in debugging messages lest INSTALLTIME and INSTALLTID, which atm have identical values, get confused in usage. However, ctime(3) is easy, and I'm not about to tell you what to do. ;-)
