Thank you for the prompt response. Your patch applied cleanly here.
BTW, I have a question regarding NFA related objects initialization in
nodeWindowAgg.c.

In release_partition():
/* Reset NFA state for new partition */
winstate->nfaContext = NULL;
winstate->nfaContextTail = NULL;
winstate->nfaContextFree = NULL;
winstate->nfaStateFree = NULL;
winstate->nfaLastProcessedRow = -1;
winstate->nfaStatesActive = 0;
winstate->nfaContextsActive = 0;

While in ExecInitWindowAgg():
/* Initialize NFA free lists for row pattern matching */
winstate->nfaContext = NULL;
winstate->nfaContextTail = NULL;
winstate->nfaContextFree = NULL;
winstate->nfaStateFree = NULL;
winstate->nfaLastProcessedRow = -1;

So the latter does not initialize winstate->nfaStatesActive and
winstate->nfaContextsActive. Can you please explain why?
