Hi! Thanks for working on this!

Hm. I don't understand. Transition from anon to non-anon leads to
re-creation of all appliers. It calls box_sync_replication() and
creates new struct applier objects. How is it possible that during one
life of a reader fiber it manages to see 2 states and is not terminated?

Also could you please provide a test? Maybe it would be easier to see
what is happening then.
