Yes, that might help. Noah, would it be possible for you to try that
out, and if it failed then probably get the stack trace of subscriber?
If we are able to reproduce it then we can add elogs in functions
SharedFileSetInit, BufFileCreateShared, BufFileOpenShared, and
SharedFileSetDeleteAll to print the paths to see if we are sometimes
unintentionally removing some files. I have checked the code and there
doesn't appear to be any such problems but I might be missing
something.
