Applied with revisions. I didn't like the extra state you added to track whether an xlog switch had occurred --- the more bits of interdependent state the more chance for bugs, IMHO, and it seemed unnecessary since it's easy enough to test whether we are at a segment boundary. I also made the new user-level functions a bit more orthogonal, so that filenames could be extracted from the existing functions like pg_stop_backup. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
