I had a vague feeling that this looked familiar, and it occurred to me
to scan the buildfarm database for occurrences of that error message.
Quite a few hours later, I have these results:

  sysname  |      snapshot       | count 
-----------+---------------------+-------
 okapi     | 2012-05-10 06:15:02 |   138
 okapi     | 2012-05-20 00:15:02 |   174
 dromedary | 2014-03-28 00:13:52 |     4
 dromedary | 2014-05-07 06:23:09 |     2
 dromedary | 2016-03-08 23:27:02 |     2

So yeah, we've seen it before, but it sure looks like a system-specific
glitch.  dromedary is a pretty old machine (2006 Mac mini), so I would not
be surprised if it dropped a bit now and then.

                        regards, tom lane
