If we bother checking it, we should throw an error if the check fails,
not just silently soldier on. Also, shouldn't it be '<', not '<='?
Should be '<', you are right.

In
general though, we don't do much checking on WAL records, we assume that
the contents are sane. It would be nice to add more checks and make WAL
redo routines more robust to corrupt records, but this seems like an odd
place to start.
If WAL records can't be corrupted at _bt_restore_page, that's ok, it's safe.


I committed the removal of bogus assignment to 'from'. Thanks!
Thanks for the commit.
