Previously, you could write _null_ in a BKI DATA line for a column that's supposed to be NOT NULL and initdb would let it pass, probably breaking subsequent accesses to the row. No doubt the original coding overlooked this simple sanity check because in the beginning we didn't have any way to mark catalog columns NOT NULL at initdb time.
