I think you can run into this if disk space on the xlog drive fills up,
which is easy to do with complicated WAL shipping setups if you're not
careful. You might want to double-check that, and check for general disk
I/O errors too. A write error at this point is kind of odd even if you
abused recovery a bit leading up to here. This might be a full disk or a
bad block on the xlog drive instead of something more complicated.
