This is not enough information for anyone else to reproduce the
problem; it very likely depends on details that you haven't mentioned.
Can you create a reproducer case? I'm hoping for a script that sets
up the necessary tables and subscriptions and populates the tables
with enough dummy data to cause the failure.

Something that might be less work for you is to get a stack trace
from the crash:

However, I make no promises that we can isolate the cause from
just a stack trace. A reproducer would be much better.
