Hello.

The commit a7e8ece41c adds a new member restoreCommand to
XLogPageReadPrivate. readOneRecord doesn't make use of it but forgets
to set NULL. That can lead to illegal pointer access.

regards.

Subject: [PATCH] Properly initalize a variable.

Commit a7e8ece41c adds new member restoreCommand to
XLogPageReadPrivate, but forgot to initialize it with NULL in
readOneRecord. That leads to illegal pointer access in
SimpleXLogPageRead.
