It's possible that this is caused by an underlying failure in the postgres server, where thread sanitizer panics about a safe-except-under-the-most-insanely-optimising-compiler issue, discussed here: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAAf4L0d5XpgmX%2BnzT2G_F7EPkJb2JODr_QCzOsSvWBnXxLKYVQ%40mail.gmail.com which may have killed the server (the tests I'm running compile everything, including the DB server with tsan), and handling the dead connection causes the issues mentioned above. But can wiser and more experienced heads than mine cast their eyes over the code above, and see if there is indeed a problem with a write to conn_status in pq_begin_lockedand a read from it in psyco_conn_cursor without a memory barrier in-between?
