Bug reference: 19504
Logged by: RekGRpth
Email address: rekgrpth(at)gmail(dot)com
PostgreSQL version: 18.4
Operating system: docker alpine 3.23
Description:

```sql
CREATE LANGUAGE plpython3u;

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION f() RETURNS text AS $$
import ctypes
postgres = ctypes.CDLL(None)
pchomp = postgres['pchomp']
# pchomp.restype = ctypes.c_char_p
return ctypes.cast(pchomp("error\n"), ctypes.c_char_p).value
$$ LANGUAGE plpython3u;

SELECT f();
server closed the connection unexpectedly
This probably means the server terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
```
