Yeah, thanks, pushed.  However this doesn't explain all the failures we see:

1) In
http://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=hamster&dt=2016-07-14%2016%3A00%3A06
we see the pg_basebackup test failing.  I suppose that failure is also
because of slowness, though of course this patch won't fix it.

2) In
http://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_stage_log.pl?nm=hamster&dt=2016-06-29%2016%3A00%3A06&stg=recovery-check
we see a completely different failure:

error running SQL: 'psql:<stdin>:1: ERROR:  relation "tab_int" does not exist
LINE 1: SELECT count(*) FROM tab_int
                             ^'
while running 'psql -XAtq -d port=52824 host=/tmp/or2xHglniM dbname=postgres -f - -v ON_ERROR_STOP=1' at /home/buildfarm/data/buildroot/HEAD/pgsql.build/src/test/recovery/../../../src/test/perl/PostgresNode.pm line 1166.

Do we have an explanation for this one?
