That will be ~ 270MB. Not sure how that would fly, plus that's awfully
lot of logs to check if I don't leak any sensitive info.

But, if I'll remove lines that are generated by walsender to pg12
replicas (streaming replication to bionic/pg12 replicas), the logfile is
only ~ 3MB. Still a bit too much, as there can be some queries with
sensitive info.

Perhaps I can grep something out?

Found one in the time frame you mentioned:

It seems to be rather elusive. Which is why I'm kinda "happy" that I can with
high level of luck replicate it.

Question might be 100% stupid, sorry if it is - any chance that we're on arm64
has something to do with it?

Best regards,
