Hmmm, so I have a theory about what's going on, but no matter what I do 
I can't trigger these valgrind failures. What switches are you using to 
start valgrind? I'm using this:

valgrind --leak-check=no --undef-value-errors=yes \  --expensive-definedness-checks=yes --track-origins=yes \
--read-var-info=yes--gen-suppressions=all \  --suppressions=src/tools/valgrind.supp --time-stamp=yes \
--log-file=$HOME/pg-valgrind/%p.log--trace-children=yes \  postgres --log_line_prefix="%m %p " --log_statement=all \
--shared_buffers=64MB-D /home/user/tmp/data-valgrind 2>&1
 

FWIW I think the issue is that statext_ndistinct_build does palloc() and 
then uses offsetof() to copy data into the chunk, which might result in 
a few bytes skipped due to alignment/padding. But as I can't reproduce 
the valgrind failure, it's hard to say.

the error-exitcode makes it a whole lot easier to see an error, because
it triggers a crash-restart cycle at backend exit ;)

Note that skink also finds the issue:
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_stage_log.pl?nm=skink&dt=2017-03-26%2013%3A00%3A01&stg=check

Did you compile postgres with valgrind support (-DUSE_VALGRIND / pg_config_manual.h)?

OK, this did the trick. And just as I suspected, it seems to be due to 
doing memcpy+offsetof when serializing the statistic into a bytea. The 
attached patch fixes that for me. Can you test it on your build?

Buildfarm member skink confirms that this is fixed.  Thanks!
