new method to keep data consistent in case of crashes (instead of

Your 32-bit transaction counter will overflow in the real world.  It
will take a setup with millions of transactions per second and even
then not trigger for a few years, but when it hits your filesystem,
the administrator of such a beast won't be happy at all. :)

If it overflows, it increases crash count instead. So really you have 2^47 transactions or 65536 crashes and 2^31 transactions between each crash.
