Hi,

----------------
29.4. WAL Configuration

There will always be at least one WAL segment file, and will normally not
be more than (2 + checkpoint_completion_target) * checkpoint_segments + 1
or checkpoint_segments + wal_keep_segments + 1 files.
----------------

The above formula is wrong. The correct is

(2 + checkpoint_completion_target) * checkpoint_segments +
wal_keep_segments + 1

The attached patch fixes this fault.

Regards,
