If you could recompile with debug support and get a backtrace from the
panic, it would be helpful. I suspect what we need to do is make the
clog code more willing to interpret a zero-length read as 8K of zeroes
instead of an error, at least during recovery. But I kinda thought
there was such an escape hatch already, so I want to see exactly how
it got to the point of the failure.
Also, which PG version are you running exactly?
