Thanks for reporting the issue.
After checking the log, I think the failure is caused by the unexpected
behavior of the local system clock.
It's clear from the '019_replslot_limit_primary4.log'[1] that the clock went
backwards which makes the slot's inactive_since go backwards as well. That's
why the last testcase didn't pass.
And for 040_standby_failover_slots_sync, we can see that the clock of standby
lags behind that of the primary, which caused the inactive_since of newly synced
slot on standby to be earlier than the one on the primary.
So, I think it's not a bug in the committed patch but an issue in the testing
environment. Besides, since we have not seen such failures on BF, I think it
may not be necessary to improve the testcases.
