This looks like something has tromped on malloc's private data
structures --- that is, it wrote outside the boundaries of a malloc'd
data object. Check your code for buffer overruns. Also check for
something that didn't get recompiled after a change in a struct
declaration it depended on.

I doubt that it's libpq's problem per se.
