There'sa README in there explaining what to do. 

So far no luck reproducing any issue with this test case.  I am running
two copies of import_loop.sh against the master, per your instructions,
and see occasional deadlock errors there as expected.  No errors at all
on the standby though.

One question probably worth asking is what non-default GUC settings are
you using on the master and standby?

(BTW, for anyone else trying this: with multiple copies of
import_loop.sh you will get a lot of "duplicate key" failures with the
test as written.  I had better luck after changing import.sh from
    ts=$(perl -e 'print time')
to
    ts=$$
ie use PID not timestamp as the pseudo-unique key.  This could be made
more bulletproof yet, but it didn't seem worth more trouble.)
