HS/SR Assert server crash

Bruce Momjian wrote:

I was able to easily crash the standby server today just by starting it
and connecting to it via psql. The master was idle. The failure was:

LOG: streaming replication successfully connected to primary
TRAP: FailedAssertion("!(((xmax) >= ((TransactionId) 3)))", File: "procarray.c", Line: 1211)
LOG: server process (PID 12761) was terminated by signal 6: Abort trap
LOG: terminating any other active server processes

My master postgresql.conf was:

wal_level = hot_standby # minimal, archive, or hot_standby
archive_mode = on # allows archiving to be done
archive_command = 'cp -i %p /u/pg/archive/%f < /dev/null ' # command to use to archive a logfile segment
max_wal_senders = 1 # max number of walsender processes

My slave postgresql.conf was:

port = 5433 # (change requires restart)
wal_level = hot_standby # minimal, archive, or hot_standby
archive_mode = off # allows archiving to be done
archive_command = 'cp -i %p /u/pg/archive/%f < /dev/null ' # command to use to archive a logfile segment
hot_standby = on # allows queries during recovery
max_wal_senders = 1 # max number of walsender processes

and my slave recovery.conf was:

restore_command = 'cp /u/pg/archive/%f %p' # e.g. 'cp /mnt/server/archivedir/%f %p'
standby_mode = 'on'
primary_conninfo = 'host=localhost port=5432' # e.g. 'host=localhost port=5432'

Let me know what additional information I can supply.

I saw Simon's commit fixing this bug. Another good reason we didn't
bundle 9.0 beta2 yesterday.

Thanks for the report. Fix applied. (Sorry for delay in replying)
