Hi,

Here is a test program.  Careful, it deletes stuff.  And it will need some 
changes:

I compile postgres server versions into directories like:
     $HOME/pg_stuff/pg_installations/pgsql.$project    where project is a name

The attached script (logrep_cascade_bug.sh)  assumes that two such compiled 
versions are present (on my machine they are called HEAD and head0):
     $HOME/pg_stuff/pg_installations/pgsql.HEAD   --> git master as of today - 
friday 12 febr 2021
     $HOME/pg_stuff/pg_installations/pgsql.head0  --> 3063eb17593c  so that's 
from 11 febr, before the replication changes

In the test script, bash variables 'project' (and 'BIN') reflect my set up - so 
should probably be changed.

The instance from today 12 february ('HEAD') has the bug:
  it keeps endlessly waiting/looping with 'NOK' (=Not OK).
  'Not OK' means: primary not identical to all replicas (replica1 seems ok, but 
replica2 remains empty)

The instance from yesterday 11 february ('head0') is ok:
  it finishes in 20 s after waiting/looping just 2 or 3 times
  'ok' means: all replicas are identical to primary (as proven by the md5s).

That's all I have for now - I have no deeper idea about what exactly goes wrong.

I hope that helps, let me know when you cannot reproduce the problem.
