Heikki, this bug is rather bad for anybody using pg_rewind with
relation file sizes larger than 2GB as this corrupts data of
instances. I think that you would be the best fit as a committer to
look at this patch as you implemented the tool first, and it would be
a bad idea to let that sit for a too long time. Could it be possible
to spare a bit of your time at some point to look at it?
