Commit 10e3226ba13d added padding to incremental backups to ensure the block data is properly aligned. The code in sendFile() however failed to consider that the header may be a multiple of BLCKSZ and thus already aligned, adding a full BLCKSZ of unnecessary padding. Not only does this make the incremental file a bit larger, but the other places calculating the amount of padding did realize it's not needed and did not include it in the formula. This resulted in pg_basebackup getting confused while parsing the data stream, trying to access files with invalid filenames (e.g. with binary data etc.) and failing.
