I can see this stack trace as well. Capturing a bit more than your
own stack, this is crashing in the autovacuum worker while waiting on
a condition variable when processing a ProcessInterrupts().
That may point to a legit bug with condition variables in this
context, actually? From what I can see, issuing a signal on a backend
process waiting with a condition variable is able to process the
interrupt correctly.
