This will not get you very far, because the stat collector is not a real
backend. The checkpointer process might be a better example, but it's
not quite a real backend either. You need to be a real backend to
access shared buffers, locking, etc.

Because CurrentMemoryContext is not QueryContext (presumably you never
set QueryContext at all). This is a pretty cheesy test but I can't
think of a better one offhand...
