OS:  Linux pi 6.6.31+rpt-rpi-v6 #1 Raspbian 1:6.6.31-1+rpt1 (2024-05-29) armv6l GNU/Linux
I can try to make a test case, essentially a large table, then "select count(*)" from table.  The select works for smaller tables.
I'm using the build of postgresql packaged with the OS version above; from the apt repository and installed with "apt install postgresql".  repository - 
deb [ arch=armhf ] http://raspbian.raspberrypi.com/raspbian/ bookworm main contrib non-free rpi

postgres --version
postgres (PostgreSQL) 15.8 (Raspbian 15.8-0+deb12u1)

What this sounds like is a memory leak in the JIT stuff.  We fixed
one such issue last year, but perhaps there's more.  Can you provide
a self-contained test case?  Also, please be more specific about
which Linux version you are using, and which LLVM version.
