In that thread Egor Chindyaskin showed proofs for stack overflow in all the
functions, that the fixes were proposed for. For example:
#MemoryContextStatsInternal
(n=1000000; printf "BEGIN;"; for ((i=1;i<=$n;i++)); do printf "SAVEPOINT s$i;"; done; printf "SELECT
pg_log_backend_memory_contexts(pg_backend_pid())") | psql >/dev/null
Though maybe for some of those functions less-hot places could be found to
check the stack.
