Could you please look at a new failure of 035_standby_logical_decoding.pl

2026-02-24 05:34:51.400 CET [1508227][walreceiver][:0] FATAL: could not receive data from WAL stream: server closed
the
connection unexpectedly
This probably means the server terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
The "terminating process ..." message doesn't appear when the test passes
successfully.
I've managed to reproduce this with multiple (20) test instances running
in a loop (it failed within 10 iterations for me); `git bisect` for this
anomaly pointed at 17f51ea81.
