A complete shot in the dark, but do you take backups from that server, and
if so, does the backup script "pause" replication via
"pg_xlog_replay_pause()"? If so, "select pg_is_xlog_replay_paused();"
should return true, and executing "select pg_xlog_replay_resume()" will
un-pause replication.
Again, that's only a WAG.
