Re: Startup PANIC on standby promotion due to zero-filled WAL segment

Michael, I left my pipeline running the TAP test until it failed — and
after some time, it did fail. I then changed the test slightly, and simply
by adding a short sleep, I was able to reproduce the same failure more
reliably. Moreover, attempting to restart the standby server after a failed
promotion triggers startup PANIC again.
