It depends on how close to the partition size limit max_wal_size is set,
and how much a system is unstable. Switching on/off a VM where Postgres
is located can participate in that, as well as VM snapshots taken
without memory (I work a lot on those as you can guess :D). Setting it
to 70% of the partition size is what I imagine is the base, but I can
imagine as well people setting it at 90% or more.
Still the probability is low, which is why I think that it would make
sense to just fix the problem on HEAD and move on.

I see, a lower-case for Xlog instead of XLog. That makes sense. I have
used your second suggestion in the attached. I have also changed the
thing so as the format of the comment block is better even after
indenting.
Thoughts?
