This would explain why the regular regression test work but the /contrib
modules, which do dynamic loading, do not.   Good to know the problem is
more the contrib/cube.  FYI, I noticed in the contrib/cube failure that
palloc0() was the next line after the reported crash line.   Are the
contrib's crashing on the first access of any backend/DLL function?
