There are other patches that we should consider along with this one.
This particular patch only has meaning when applied with the changes to
pg_stop_backup() earlier in 8.4dev cycle. It isn't a bug in xlog switch,
it is a bug in how the new waiting code interprets the return value from
xlog switch.
