You have a point but if we see the below logs, it seems the second
walsender (#step6) seemed to exited before the first walsender
(#step4).

2021-08-15 18:44:38.041 CEST [16475:10] tap_sub LOG:  disconnection:
session time: 0:00:00.036 user=nm database=postgres host=[local]
2021-08-15 18:44:38.043 CEST [16336:14] tap_sub LOG:  disconnection:
session time: 0:00:06.367 user=nm database=postgres host=[local]

Isn't it possible that pid is cleared in the other order due to which
we are seeing this problem?
