I thought we fixed this already by sending InvalidXlogRecPtr as flush
location? And that this only applied in 9.2?
Are you saying we picked pg_basebackup *in backup mode* (not log

*definitely* a bug that should be fixed. We should never select a
connection that's not even streaming log as standby!
