The first call after a restart. Reconnecting is not enough.

The addresses look good:

Breakpoint 1, pg_numa_query_pages (pid=0, count=32768, pages=0xeb44d02c, status=0xeb42c02c) at ../src/port/pg_numa.c:49
49 return numa_move_pages(pid, count, pages, NULL, status, 0);
(gdb) p *pages
$1 = (void *) 0xebc33000
(gdb) p pages[1]
$2 = (void *) 0xebc34000
(gdb) p pages[2]
$3 = (void *) 0xebc35000

I found something, but that should be harmless:
