Did you pick that number out of a hat? Postgres thinks it means that
the recovery command died horribly, and abandons the recovery as a
safety measure. (Per Single Unix Spec, this exit code from a shell
script would ordinarily mean that some program the shell called
died with a signal 5.)
Use "exit 1" or some low number like that to signal ordinary failure
to find the requested xlog file. Numbers larger than about 125 mean
catastrophic failure of the recovery command.
