Bug reference: 11517
Logged by: the pg_stat_replication.sync_stat show sync when synchronous_commit is set
to be off
Email address: amutu(at)amutu(dot)com
PostgreSQL version: 9.2.4
Operating system: suse linux 10 x86_64
Description:

from the doc,when synchronous_commit set to off or local,the commit will not
wait the remote slave reveive data,so it is not asynchronous replication.but
I find the pg_stat_replication wrongly report the sync_stat to sync.This can
be confused for people.
