I've found it not hugely difficult to reproduce: on two different
Mac M4 machines, repeated runs of 046_checkpoint_logical_slot.pl
hung up after 30 or so tries. Backtrace of the stuck query
looks like

so apparently it's waiting patiently for WAL that will never appear.
(I do see the 'checkpoint complete' log message before the shutdown
in this particular run.) I still have this debugger session open
if there's any particular data you'd like me to look at.
