with earlier versions ,for instance - v.96 v/s v9.5 ,pg_resetwal was 
giving pg_control values .

Installed v9.6 and v9.5  and run pg_resetwal of v9.6 against data 
directory of v9.5.

[centos@centos-cpula ~]$ /tmp/pg9.6/bin/pg_resetxlog -D /tmp/pg9.5/bin/data/
pg_resetxlog: pg_control exists but is broken or unknown version; 
ignoring it
Guessed pg_control values:

Values to be changed:

First log segment after reset:        000000010000000000000002

If these values seem acceptable, use -f to force reset.
