While testing the PG_RE_THROW problem I noted that what I get here is
a SIGSEGV crash, rather than SIGABRT as seen on Stefan's machines, so
that's another hint that this may be unrelated.  Still, it's clearly
at risk of causing a problem as more PG_TRY's get added to the code,
so I'm going to fix it anyway.
