I found interesting "for" and "while" loop in WaitForWALToBecomeAvailable() in

I confirmed this code is no problem in gcc compiler:)
Oh wow :-). That's clearly a thinko, although harmless in this case.
Looking at the git history, I made that mistake in commit abf5c5c9a.
Before that, there was no "while".
That's easier to understand with some extra formatting. That's two
loops, like this:
/* loop 1 */
for (;;)
{
...
}
/* loop2 */
while(StandbyMode);
The second loop is obviously completely pointless. Thankfully, the there
are no "breaks" inside the first loop (the ones within the
switch-statements don't count), so the endless while-loop is never reached.
I'll go fix that... Thanks for the report!
