Note that if you perform the backup step when the system is quiet then
there is typically no problem with the standby - it is only when the
backup coincides with any level of activity that you can elicit the
previously mentioned problems.

Obviously the case I have included in the first mail shows up the
problem immediately, but in fact it is reasonably hard to trigger and I
spent quite a while getting to the state of being able to trigger the
uninitialized pages on demand.

While Pitrtools it is a wrapper, the use of "--exclude=backup_label" is
incorrect and needs to be removed.
