v16dev: TRAP: failed Assert("size > SizeOfXLogRecord"), File: "xlog.c", Line: 1055, PID: 13564 - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

I hit this assertion while pg_restoring data into a v16 instance.
postgresql16-server-16-alpha_20230417_PGDG.rhel7.x86_64

wal_level=minimal and pg_dump --single-transaction both seem to be
required to hit the issue.

$ /usr/pgsql-16/bin/postgres -D ./pg16test -c maintenance_work_mem=1GB -c max_wal_size=16GB -c wal_level=minimal -c
max_wal_senders=0-c port=5678 -c logging_collector=no &
 

$ time sudo -u postgres /usr/pgsql-16/bin/pg_restore -d postgres -p 5678 --single-transaction --no-tablespace
./curtables
