The doc says the caller of set_mapsize is required to make sure there are no active transactions when it is called. As such, X failed this requirement, and this sequence of events is explicitly unsupported.
No, I'm talking about X changing the mapsize when there is no txn, then afterwards doing a write txn so the mapsize gets written.
If Y doesn't start its write txn until after X finishes, then Y will see the new size.
It doesn't, that's the point. Only txn_commit pays attention, and it checks the size which existed in the wrong metapage.
Come to think of it, set_mapsize(); env_open(); txn begin/end should do the same. Y will either way not pay attention to the new mapsize.
Fixed now in mdb.master
