Okay, then I suggest we should do these before calling stream_stop and
also move ReorderBufferResetTXN after calling stream_stop  to follow a
pattern similar to try block unless there is a reason for not doing
so.  Also, it would be good if we can initialize specinsert with NULL
after returning the change as we are doing at other places.

No, I am also not able to reproduce it consistently but I think this
can fail if a subscriber sends the replay_location before actually
replaying the changes.  First, I thought that extra send_feedback we
have in apply_handle_stream_commit might have caused this but I guess
that can't happen because we need the commit time location for that
and we are storing the same at the end of apply_handle_stream_commit
after applying all messages.  I am not sure what is going on here.  I
think we somehow need to reproduce this or some variant of this test
consistently to find the root cause.
