I ran pgbench-over-logical-replication with a WHERE-clause and could not
get this to do a correct replication. Below is the output of the
attached test program.

I let that run for 10 minutes or so but that pgbench_history table
md5-values (of ports 6516 and 6517) do not change anymore, which shows
that it is and remains different from the original pgbench_history table
in 6515.

When there is a where-clause this goes *always* wrong.

Without a where-clause all logical replication tests were OK. Perhaps
the error is not in our patch but something in logical replication.

Attached is the test program (will need some tweaking of PATHs,
PG-variables (PGPASSFILE) etc). This is the same program I used in
march when you first posted a version of this patch alhough the error is
different.

thanks,

Erik Rijkers
