Re: BUG #16643: PG13 - Logical replication - initial startup never finishes and gets stuck in startup loop

I've made an important observation!

Since I had the impression this setup was already working with RC1 of PG
13, I re-installed RC1 and did the same test. And it's working fine!

So it seems that something has changed from RC1 to the final version that
breaks logical replication in some cases.

Best,
Henry
