Re: BUG #13490: Segmentation fault on pg_stat_activity

After exporting and re-importing (pg9.5 -> 9.5), this has gone away. We
changed quite a few variables in the import (non-parallel, letting full
index builds proceed, etc.), so not 100% sure what the issue was; as you
suggested, doesn't that pg9.5 itself was the problem (though not sure on
pg_dump/restore).
