I'm not sure if this is a sufficient defense or not --- IIRC, there were
places in the parser that stuffed info into size-8 arrays without any
nearby check that no more than 8 items would be forthcoming.  Offhand
the obvious try doesn't crash it:

regression=> select foo(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18);
ERROR:  No such function 'foo' with the specified attributes

but I am hoping to go back and look more carefully.
