I see the same as you: the process that dies is the one that was doing
the INSERT.  There's no stated reason for the failure however ... the
process just exits with code 255.  I don't remember seeing this before.
Is there anything on the kernel messages?  I doubt it's the kernel,
because we'd be seeing something about getting a signal, and I don't
think it would be this reproducible.

Maybe someone else has an idea?  The previous-to-last message below is
"server process exited with exit code 255".

What PostgreSQL version is this exactly?

Maybe this is the case where proc_exit() is called when it was already
running?  i.e. proc_exit(proc_exit_inprogress)?  Alas, no, I see that
that would return with exit code 1, not 255.
