As it is a crash bug, I can see two other ways to test:

1) do the test in startup script (maybe have pg_ctl run something)

2) test it in postmaster by running an external testprogram and see if
it crashes.

How do we handle other buggy library routines, like if some system
library crashes on divide-by-zero or similar ?
