If some code crashes in glibc or within a system call, impacting
Postgres backends, there is usually little to do, and the correct call
is to fix the place where the problem happens.  If libxml2 has
integrated with a new API which is considered safer to use, then we
could consider working on improving Postgres regarding that aspect.
