It seems that 0/B0706F72 is not a random value. Two subscriber logs
show the same value. Since 0x70 = 'p', 0x6F = 'o', and 0x72 = 'r', it
might show the next field in the pg_subscription catalog, i.e.,
subconninfo. The subscription is created by "CREATE SUBSCRIPTION sub
CONNECTION 'port=57851 host=/tmp/6u2vRwQYik dbname=postgres'
PUBLICATION pub WITH (disable_on_error = true, streaming = on,
two_phase = on)".

Given subscription.sql passes, something is wrong when we read the
subskiplsn value by like "sub->skiplsn = subform->subskiplsn;".

Is it possible to run the test again with the attached patch?
