I don't see anything in our code that would initialize stealthily.
Maybe it's something we're being linked against -- pthread perhaps?
OpenSSL?  Maybe you'd have more luck if you noted what is libpq doing
when this invalid free is called.  Perhaps call abort() and get a stack
trace from the resulting dump.
