Yes, but I do not have the backtrace handy since that was reported
from a guy, not by me.

BTW, from interfaces/libpq/fe-exec.c:
* Requirements for correct function are:* PGRESULT_ALIGN_BOUNDARY >= sizeof(pointer)*        to ensure the initial
pointerin a block is not overwritten.
 
[snip]
#define PGRESULT_ALIGN_BOUNDARY        MAXIMUM_ALIGNOF /* from configure */

I wonder there seems to be a problem if MAXIMUM_ALIGNOF == 2?
