But the key is, the database was not actually consistent at that
point, and so opening hot standby was a dangerous thing to do.
The bug that allowed the database to open early (the original topic if
this email chain) was masking this secondary issue.

The behavior that we both see in 9.2.2, where it waits for a
pg_xlog_replay_resume() that cannot be delivered because the database
is not yet open, is the same thing I'm seeing in 9.1.6. I'll see if I
can repeat it in 9.1.7 and post the tarball of the data directory.
Cheers,
Jeff
