Re: [HACKERS] postmaster startup failure
I ran into this too. Patched the code with Tom's change and it works fine. Thanks again Tom!

Ugh. The reason we hadn't seen this happen in the field was that it is
a bug I introduced in a patch two months ago :-(
7.3.3 will in fact fail to start up, with the above error, any time the
last record of the WAL file ends exactly at a page boundary. I think
we're gonna need a quick 7.3.4 ...
If you want a source patch for 7.3.3, here it is.

[HACKERS] postmaster startup failure
