What conditions must be met for issue to happen?
Both archive_command on master and restore_commands are set and working.
Also wal_keep_segments is set.

I see no point of failure - only delay in the case of high WAL traffic
on master:
- slave starts with restoring WALs from archive,
- now, it connects to master and notices, that for last master's WAL
it needs previous one ("the issue"),
- slave asks master for previous WAL and gets it - job done, streaming
replication set, exit
- if unable to get it (WAL traffic is high, and after restoring last
WAL from archive and asking master for next one more than
wal_keep_segments were recycled) it returns to looking WALs in
archive.

Do I get it right?
