The only explanation I can think of here is that pgbench on startup
queries one of the tables to figure out the scale factor, and it seems
to be coming up with scaling factor 0, suggesting that the table was
perhaps truncated. If the tables are unlogged, that's expected.
Otherwise, it sounds like a serious bug in recovery.
