I attached gdb to a running pid of psql. After I do:
\d imap_passwd
There are thousands of these lines in gdb:
...
#14133 0x160034458 in _rtld_start () from /usr/libexec/ld.elf_so
#14134 0x160034458 in _rtld_start () from /usr/libexec/ld.elf_so
#14135 0x160034458 in _rtld_start () from /usr/libexec/ld.elf_so
