OK. Thanks for doing that.

I have Claudio on IM right now and am getting the details. I wasn't
aware it was such a problem but I think it was introduced by rmtree()
and the malloc call.
What I would like to do is to move elog/fprintf out of /port and make a
generic pglog call and have a backend function that calls elog and a
libpq version that calls fprintf. This would remove a lot of FRONTEND
and Makefile compiles and will probably avoid some bugs. The only
tricky part is passing a variable number of arguments. Same behavior for
malloc/palloc.
