Please find attached the patch to fix the problem. I changed to keep
restored WAL files in pg_xlog/ only on a cascading standby server. Could
you review and commit this?
BTW, KeepFileRestoredFromArchive() is also called to keep timeline history
files in pg_xlog/. What is this for? Is this necessary for recovery other
than cascading standbys? This seems to accumulate timeline history files
forever in pg_xlog/.
