Hello, I have observed that after upgrading from 9.3 to 9.4 on windows, autovacuum keep running again and again. In 9.3 this was not true. Any recommendations?

We got another report for pg_database https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/A9D40BB7-CFD6-46AF-A0A1-249F04878A2A%40amazon.com so I suppose there really is a bug.
