This is the same warning Tom fixed earlier. I have no idea what
actually causes it :(
I think it's somehow caused by the PG_ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP stuff.
Does it go away if you break everything inside the if
(opt->includewal) into it's own function? (Or at least everything
except the pq_putemptymessage() call, because moving that would make
the code very confusing)
