Sorry, I overlooked the single-digit figure in the result of "ls -l".
To be exact, the size of the WAL file in inprogress directory can be
less than 16MB. Here is the result of "ls -l inprogress".
$ ls -l inprogress/
total 1724
-rw-rw-r-- 1 postgres postgres 1757352 Sep 29 12:03 000000010000000000000003
This also would be problem since the WAL file smaller than 16MB cannot
be used for recovery. I think that pg_streamrecv should create 16MB
file with zero at first, and write the received WAL records in that, as
walreceiver does.
