I tried the patch on Windows and got following failure:
# executing test in

pg_walsummary test 003_tli_switch

ok 2 - no summaries from before LSN 0/04016090
not ok 3 - at least one summary from LSN 0/04016090 or later
1..3

The failure log of node-3 is attached. I'll investigate this further
and share my findings but in the meantime if you have any inputs based
on the LOG then do let me know.
