We have a planned upgrade that would permanentlty remedy this.

regarding the below errors on our PG 9.6.x instance.

I know that a db restart will reset the 'counter' (reset the
pg_internal.init files??) on this issue. We would rather avoid a
restart if possible. Some research on the internet found a page
suggesting that removal of pg_internal.init file(s) on a running system
would provide the same temporary resolution as a restart??? Is this a
valid temporary work around for this issue? If it is, is there a
particular pg_internal.init file that needs to be removed, or just
remove all pg_internal.init that can be found?

Thanks,
reid
