IIRC, this kind of situation we may expect, when the archive command was
failed at master side. Could you verify, how many files
"000000xxxxxxx.ready" reside under the master's pg_xlog/archive_status
directory. And also, verify the master server's recent pg_log file, for
finding the root cause of the master server down issue.
