--- Comment #3 from Peter Much <pmc@citylink.dinoex.sub.org> ---
It is not related to autovacuum. After I followed recommendation from postgres
group and upgraded PG r15 to r16, I did somewhere miss that MIT-krb5
distinguishes FQDN and shortname, and some of my applications did hammer the DB
with futile logins. Then I got backtraces straight from gethostbyaddr() into
malloc():

I cannot perfectly align that security update. It was built and deployed on Jan
31, but the server was rebooted into -p8 on Feb 2 16:05, while the first crash
happened on Feb 2 03:52. It is unclear when exactly the binaries on that
respective jail have been replaced.
