Hmph.  Well, that destroys the posix_fadvise-dumps-core theory, and
leaves us still wondering why thrush is failing "make check".
There's been a core dump recently introduced *somewhere*:

NOTICE:  type reference hobbies_r.person%TYPE converted to text
LOG:  server process (PID 2818) was terminated by signal 11
LOG:  terminating any other active server processes

Could you get a gdb stack trace from that crash?  If the buildfarm
run is under a suitable ulimit, it should be leaving a core file
in the test PGDATA directory.
