I think the reason this recurred is that, since upgrading to pg14, I no longer
had your memleak patches applied.  I'd forgotten about it, but was probably
running a locally compiled postgres with your patches applied.

I should've mentioned that this crash was associated with the message from the
original problem report:

|terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
|  what():  std::bad_alloc

The leak discussed on other threads seems fixed by your patches - I compiled
v14 and now running with no visible leaks since last week.
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/20210417021602.7dilihkdc7oblrf7@alap3.anarazel.de

As I understand it, there's still an issue with an allocation failure causing
SIGABRT rather than FATAL.

It took me several tries to get the corefile since the process is huge, caused
by the leak (and abrtd wanted to truncate it, nullifying its utility).

I installed more debug packages to get a fuller stacktrace.
