Hmm. Some of them are, yeah, but it's not universal. For example
mussurana and ibisbill are not showing failures.
Anyway the error is pretty strange: only GetWALAvailability is showing a
problem, but the size calculation in the view function def is returning
a negative number, as expected.
So looking at the code in GetWALAvailability, what happens is that
targetSeg >= oldestSlotSeg, but we expect the opposite. I'd bet for
targetSeg to be correct, since its input is just the slot LSN -- pretty
easy. But for oldestSlotSeg, we have KeepLogSeg involved.
No immediate ideas ...
