Anything registered in shared_preload_libraries is going to be active
in every process. I don't particularly believe Andres' theory that
CacheRegisterRelcacheCallback is involved, but it seems very likely
that one of these extensions has hooked into some code path that the
launcher can traverse, and it's doing more than is safe there.
If this weren't a production database, I'd suggest changing that error
to a PANIC so we could get a stack trace. That would almost certainly
pinpoint the culprit.
