Right. On a larger scale --- I'm too uncaffeinated to figure out whether
this is the code path taken for the initially user-supplied file name.
But it would be unfriendly if when you fat-finger the command line
arguments, it takes 5 seconds for pg_xlogdump to tell you so. Maybe
the looping behavior should only happen on non-first file access.
