On x86_64, I ran these with and without asserts:
  install PostgreSQL 16.4
  install https://github.com/apache/age/tree/master
  make -C age installcheck
  install PostgreSQL 16.5
  make -C age installcheck

The non-asserts build passed.  The asserts build failed with "+WARNING:
problem in alloc set ExecutorState: detected write past chunk" throughout the
diffs, but there were no crashes.  (Note that AGE "make installcheck" creates
a temporary installation, unlike PostgreSQL "make installcheck".)  What might
differ in how you tested?
