This snippet in xlog.c makes we wonder...
else if (ControlFile->state == DB_IN_RECOVERY)
{
elog(LOG, "Data Base System was interrupted being in recovery at %s\n"
"\tThis propably means that some data blocks are corrupted\n"
"\tAnd you will have to use last backup for recovery",
str_time(ControlFile->time));
}
I thought this was going to be crash safe.
