Right.  In short it makes no sense to wait the delay when in crash
recovery.  After more testing I have been able to reproduce the
failure myself.

+   /* nothing to do if crash recovery is requested */
+   if (!ArchiveRecoveryRequested && !StandbyModeRequested)
+       return false;

ArchiveRecoveryRequested will be set to true if recovery.signal or
standby.signal are found, so it seems to me that you can make all
those checks more simple by removing from the equation
StandbyModeRequested, no?  StandbyModeRequested is never set to true
if ArchiveRecoveryRequested is not itself true.

It would be nice to test some scenario within 002_archiving.pl.
