No, this is something different, because it still crashes even with the
fix for that other issue. I see this in the postmaster log:

panic: free from wrong pool.
LOG: server process (PID 15697) exited with exit code 255

There's no core dump (thank you, perl). The lower-case panic message
must be from libperl because PG has no such message. I guess that we
probably need to fix this by changing the timing of interpreter
switching relative to throwing away the old compiled function ...
