Failing start-up archive recovery at Standby mode in PG9.2.4

Hi,

I find problem about failing start-up achive recovery at Standby mode in PG9.2.4 streaming replication.
I test same problem in PG9.2.3. But it is not occerd...

We search this problem patch in PostgreSQL git repository.
It may be occerd in this commit.
http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commit;h=ee8b95e8c807f31220f31bcff445d1dcb20c28b4

Attached sciript(replication_test.sh) is reproduced this problem.
If you use this script, you sholud set up about PGPATH and install pgbench.
Script execution summary is under following:

 1. Create Master and Standby instance.
 2. Insert Master to lot of record using pgbench and stop master by immediate shutdown.
 3. Start Master and Standby.
 4. Standby fails start-up achive recovery in ValidXLOGHeader, xlog.c:4395.
 5. Standby thinks achive recovery is finished. It is mistake!
 6. Standby connects to Master for stream replication, but it fail.

We try to fix this problem with my company's colleaguea,
but it is too difficult and complicated to WAL contorol and validation method...

This problem is occerd in xlog.c:10692.
> 10692         if (!ValidXLOGHeader((XLogPageHeader) readBuf, emode, false))
> 10693                 goto next_record_is_invalid;

And problem is occerd this checking in ValidXLOGHeader().
>  4390         if (!XLByteEQ(hdr->xlp_pageaddr, recaddr))
>  4391         {
>  4392                 ereport(emode_for_corrupt_record(emode, recaddr),
>  4393                                 (errmsg("unexpected pageaddr %X/%X in log file %u, segment %u, offset %u",
>  4394                                                 hdr->xlp_pageaddr.xlogid, hdr->xlp_pageaddr.xrecoff,
>  4395                                                 readId, readSeg, readOff)));
>  4396                 return false;
>  4397         }

We think hdr->xlp_pageaddr.xrecoff has wrong value. This is very rare cace!
We cannot analyze why this value is uncorrect!


Please fix this problem with us!

Best regards
