BDR: Recover from "FATAL: mismatch in worker state" without restarting postgres

Hello all,

After uninstalling a BDR node, it becomes not possible to join it again.
The following log appears in loop:
<<<
2016-08-25 10:17:08 [ll101] postgres info [11709]: [14620-1] LOG: starting

I can not tell how this appends: before removing the node, one of the node
was in the 'catchup' state and the lag of data between the 2 nodes was
growing, that is why I removed it (the idea was to clean the lagged node
and to reattach it again.)

Questions:
* is it possible to recover from this error without restarting postgres
* in case a restart is necessary, how to be sure the postgres restart will
work? my fear is that the restart fails, meaning the service will be
completely down.

Thanks and regards,
Sylvain
