Thanks for your agreement. I'll try to submit the patch as soon as possible
so that the fix will be included in the next minor release and 9.3. If it
seems unexpectedly difficult, I'd like to consult you.

I'll consider this condition, but I wonder if 9.1 users are setting
max_wal_senders>0 and hot_standby=on even when just performing archive
recovery (e.g. to use the same recovery.conf for all cases). What do you
think? Is there any other good condition to judge if cascading replication
is used?
