Another logical decoding assertion failure

http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/BLU436-SMTP12682D628F61AB9736099C3DCE80@phx.gbl
recalls me that I also saw an assertion failure recently. Although I
wanted to isolate and report my issue when my vacation is over, this
report made me curious whether I saw the same. Eventually it seems to be
a different symptom.

Following are the steps that trigger the failure in my environment
(9.5devel), although it's not always that straightforward - sometimes I
need to create and populate one more table. (I use the 'test_decoding'
contrib module.)


postgres=# SELECT pg_create_logical_replication_slot('my_slot',
'test_decoding');pg_create_logical_replication_slot
------------------------------------(my_slot,0/16F3B30)
(1 row)

postgres=# CREATE TABLE a AS SELECT * FROM
pg_logical_slot_get_changes('my_slot', NULL, NULL) WITH NO DATA;
SELECT 0
postgres=# INSERT INTO a SELECT * FROM
pg_logical_slot_get_changes('my_slot', NULL, NULL);
INSERT 0 2
postgres=# INSERT INTO a SELECT * FROM
pg_logical_slot_get_changes('my_slot', NULL, NULL);
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed.

The stack trace (should I upload / send the whole core file anywhere?):
