If you were installing new files with the system running and under
duress, then yeah bad things could happen -- if any ABIs are changed and
new connections are opened in between, then these new connections could
load new copies of the libraries with changed ABI.  This might or might
not be happening here, but I wouldn't waste too much time chasing broken
databases created this way.
