Hm. Is it possible that the prepared statement recursively called the
*same* plperl function? And that somebody did a CREATE OR REPLACE on
that function meanwhile? It looks to me like validate_plperl_function()
for the inner invocation could pull the rug out from under the outer
invocation's prodesc pointer. Although even granting all that, you'd
have to be quite unlucky to get a crash right there, because free'ing
the prodesc wouldn't ordinarily cause the memory to disappear. This
might be the wrong theory. You seem to have debug symbols for that
core dump --- can you tell which of the dereferences in line 3373
caused the crash?
