Or, hm, actually, could you just post the result of all the queries from the "What is:" section in https://postgr.es/m/20200323162303.s7ay5hjdvimtkz6u%40alap3.anarazel.de > Since this is occurring right now, what else would be useful to > capture?

Unless you can give me gdb access directly, I don't yet have enough data to suggest what exactly we would want to analyze with gdb in your case. It'd be helpful if you could change log_min_messages to DEBUG1 and reload the configuration (not restart!). Greetings, Andres Freund
