Thank you for the explanation!

Then maybe you would like to take a look at the rest of my collection and
determine which sizes fit these issues:

2)
echo "
select test_enc_conversion('\x8bc68bcf8b', 'gb18030', 'gb18030', false);
" >> src/test/regress/sql/conversion.sql
TESTS="conversion" make -s check-tests

produces (under Valgrind):
==00:00:00:05.947 3320530== Invalid read of size 1

==00:00:00:05.947 3320530==    by 0x6B4EAF: report_invalid_encoding (mbutils.c:1700)
==00:00:00:05.947 3320530==    by 0x4867D3F: test_enc_conversion (regress.c:1154)
==00:00:00:05.947 3320530==    by 0x3B9796: ExecInterpExpr (execExprInterp.c:764)

If I understand correctly, the defect is inside test_enc_conversion(), not
in the core code.

3)
echo "
CREATE EXTENSION test_tidstore;
SELECT test_is_full();
" >src/test/modules/test_tidstore/sql/test_tidstore.sql
make -s check -C src/test/modules/test_tidstore

leads to:
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I guess, test_is_full() is missing a check-for-null too.

4)
echo "
CREATE TABLE tov(id int not null, ov oidvector);
INSERT INTO tov (id, ov) VALUES (1, '1 2 3');
SELECT id, make_tuple_indirect(tov)::text FROM tov;
" >> src/test/regress/sql/indirect_toast.sql
TESTS="indirect_toast" make -s check-tests

produces:
ERROR:  invalid memory alloc request size 18446744073608493557

I guess, make_tuple_indirect() could be improved with:
                 /* only work on existing, not-null varlenas */
                 if (TupleDescAttr(tupdesc, i)->attisdropped ||
                         nulls[i] ||
-                       TupleDescAttr(tupdesc, i)->attlen != -1)
+                       TupleDescAttr(tupdesc, i)->attlen != -1 ||
+                       TupleDescAttr(tupdesc, i)->attstorage == TYPSTORAGE_PLAIN)

Best regards,
