This means either that libpq got a corrupt message from the server, or
that libpq itself contains a bug in message parsing.  Given that no one
else has reported similar problems, the idea that your app is somehow
clobbering the libpq message buffer (and thus corrupting the message "in
transit") has to be taken seriously.

You mention pooling so I suppose this is a multi-threaded application
... are you being careful not to let any two threads try to use the same
libpq PGconn at the same time?  libpq itself does not contain any
locking that would make that safe, you need to provide the locking
yourself.
