This just happened again ~24 hours after full reload from backup.
Arrrgh.
Backtrace looks the same again, same file, same
__read_nocancel(). $PGDATA/global/pg_auth looks fine to me,
permissions are 600, entries are 3 or more double-quoted items
per line each separated by a space, items 3 and beyond being
groups.
Any clues?
