more severe. It found the end of the valid WAL stream in WAL files it
was provided, and it's telling you how it decided it was at the end.
One thing I don't think you've really described is how you took your
base backup. You did follow all the instructions, like using
pg_start_backup() and pg_stop_backup(), excluding the pg_xlog
directory contents, and excluding the postmaster.pid file, right? If
you missed some details there you might see odd behavior.

Yeah, I forgot the pg_stop_backup. I knew it was my mistake, I just didn't know what... Now I know! That's what I get for doing it by hand. My script never forgets...
Thanks!
Ian
