Hi all,

I keep getting segfaults when running queries against postgresql replicas.
We have an ETL job that hits these nodes with many small queries (no more
than 8 concurrently) and the box has 16 cores and plenty of I/O and ram.

However, during this process postgresql segfaults, usually on COPY commands
that have this shape:

COPY
(
SELECT row_to_json(t)
FROM (
SELECT lead_tag."objectId" AS "lead_id",
lead_tag."tag" AS "tag_id"
FROM (
SELECT "objectId",
jsonb_array_elements_text("tags")
AS tag
FROM "Lead"
WHERE true
AND "Lead"."organization" =
'I6JDWAaZx5'
AND tags IS NOT NULL
AND "Lead"."updatedAt" >= '2015-01-01'
AND "Lead"."updatedAt" <
'2021-10-30T11:05:40.389773+00:00' ) AS lead_tag) t) TO stdout

Is there anything I can do to prevent this or anything i can look at to try
and diagnose what is happening here? I’m running Postgres 12.7 and cannot
tell if this is a symptom of a bug or just misconfiguration.

What I see in the error logs is:

2021-10-29 11:08:10 UTC:172.23.17.171(54332):postgres(at)postgres:[22200]:ERROR:
cache lookup failed for type 0 2021-10-29 11:08:10
UTC:172.23.17.171(54332):postgres(at)postgres:[22200]:STATEMENT: COPY (SELECT
ROW_TO_JSON(t) FROM (… the query above...) TO STDOUT 2021-10-29 11:08:10
UTC::@:[19406]:LOG: server process (PID 22200) was terminated by signal 11:
Segmentation fault

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
