I already whined about this at [1].

I've been wondering if the issue could be traced to topminnow's unusual
hardware properties, specifically that it has MAXALIGN 8 even though
it's only a 32-bit machine per sizeof(void *). I think the only
other active buildfarm animal like that is my gaur ... but I've
failed to reproduce it on gaur. Best guess at the moment is that
it's a timing issue that topminnow manages to reproduce often.

Anyway, as I said in the other thread, I can reproduce it on
topminnow's host. Let me know if you have ideas about how to
home in on the cause.

regards, tom lane
