Hello,

This problem still occurs on the master.
I rebased this to the current master.

The steps to reproduce the problem follows.

- Apply the second patch (0002-) attached and recompile. It effectively reproduces the problematic state of database.

- M(aster): initdb the master with wal_keep_segments = 0           (default), log_min_messages = debug2
- M: Create a physical repslot.
- S(tandby): Setup a standby database.
- S: Edit recovery.conf to use the replication slot above then    start it.
- S: touch /tmp/hoge
- M: Run pgbench ...
- S: After a while, the standby stops. > LOG:  #################### STOP THE SERVER

- M: Stop pgbench.
- M: Do 'checkpoint;' twice.
- S: rm /tmp/hoge
- S: Fails to catch up with the following error.
 > FATAL:  could not receive data from WAL stream: ERROR:  requested WAL segment 00000001000000000000002B has already
beenremoved
 


The first patch (0001-) fixes this problem, preventing the
problematic state of WAL segments by retarding restart LSN of a
physical replication slot in a certain condition.
