Ok, you answered my wondering about using recovery status from shared mem. This
was obvious. Thanks for your help!
I was wondering if we could use "ControlFile->state != DB_IN_CRASH_RECOVERY".
It seems fine during crash recovery as the control file is updated before the
checkpoint, but it doesn't feel right for other code paths where the control
file might not be up-to-date on filesystem, right ?

I was thinking about setting XLogCtlData->SharedRecoveryInProgress as an enum
using:
enum RecoveryState
{
NOT_IN_RECOVERY = 0
IN_CRASH_RECOVERY,
IN_ARCHIVE_RECOVERY
}
Please, find in attachment a patch implementing this.
Plus, I added a second commit to add one test in regard with this bug.

I'm not sure to understand this one.
