Adrian, I believe that the suggestion that my issue was the result of
my archiving process not working is not correct.

The quote above does not address the requirement for wal_keep_segments
to be >= 1 even when archiving is functioning correctly.

I will continue to monitor this thread in the hope that others will
confirm my understanding, but otherwise I will bow out now (and file a
bug).


Thanks to all.
