I guess you are just lucky. In my case I enabled --enable-cassert to
build PostgreSQL and it automatically turn on CLOBBER_FREED_MEMORY and
freed memory area is scrambled. If I look the patch closer, I found a
problem:

+void
+WinCheckAndInitializeNullTreatment(WindowObject winobj,
:
:
+               winobj->win_nonnulls = palloc_array(int64, 16);

WinCheckAndInitializeNullTreatment is called in each built-in window
function. Window functions are called in the per tuple memory context,
which means win_nonnulls disappears when next tuple is supplied to the
window function. If my understanding is correct, winobj->win_nonnulls
needs to survive across processing tuples.

Best reagards,
