Operating system: Ubuntu 18.04
Description:

Running the following query under valgrind:
create table gist_point_tbl(id int4, p point);
insert into gist_point_tbl (id, p)
select g, point(g*10+1, g*10+1) from generate_series(1, 30000) g;
create index gist_pointidx2 on gist_point_tbl using gist(p) with (buffering
= on, fillfactor=50);

leads to a memory access error:
