PostgreSQL version: 9.5.2
Operating system: Debian Jessie 8.4 x64
Description:

We enabled logical replication on our postgresql cluster, created a new
replication slot with vanilla test_decoding decoder and ran an app that
polls 10000 rows from this slot once per second. It ran fine for a day,
survived several bulk uploads of ~1mln rows until we did bulk upload of
~8mln rows at once. During the upload our postgresql instance disconnected
all clients and reported that it is in recovery. Core dump was created and
when we checked the logs we saw
