I think you really need to do "handle SIGUSR1 noprint nostop" to
eliminate the SIGUSR1 noise. That is absolutely irrelevant to the issue
you're trying to investigate.

Furthermore, this does not give us any sort of stack trace. You need to
either set a breakpoint at the elog() call, which I believe is this one:

https://github.com/postgres/postgres/blob/REL_10_STABLE/src/backend/utils/mmgr/dsa.c#L1736

wait for it to get triggered, and then generate backtrace using 'bt'.


So something like

1) gdb -p $PID

2) (gdb) handle SIGUSR1 noprint nostop

3) (gdb) break dsa.c:1736

4) run the query, gdb should interrupt at the breakpoint

5) (gdb) bt

and then send us the output of that gdb command.
