I cannot reproduce this, and my guess is that the binaries of those
contrib/ modules are not up to date for the installed instance of
Postgres you are running the tests on. Particularly I find this
portion doubtful:

SELECT avg(normal_rand)::int FROM normal_rand(100, 250, 0.2);
! server closed the connection unexpectedly
! This probably means the server terminated abnormally
! before or while processing the request.
! connection to server was lost

The set of patches I am proposing here does not go through those code
paths, and this is likely an aggregate failure.
