I can reproduce the crash here so I can see if I can find the cause.
However, the failure is happening in the _server_. Threading is
unrelated to the server itself, only the client. I suppose the first
test for me will be to test CVS before the thread change was made.
The failure is in heap_fill_tuple(), and I am unclear how that assert
could be getting triggered:
CONTEXT: automatic analyze of table "test.public.pgbench_accounts"TRAP: FailedAssertion("!((data - start) ==
data_size)",File: "heaptuple.c", Line: 255)TRAP: FailedAssertion("!((data - start) == data_size)", File: "heaptuple.c",
