Good catch, I could reproduce the issue. This crash was occurred because the
cleanup function was called before initialization memory.

There are several ways to fix it, but I chose to move the callback registration
behind. The function does actual tasks only after database objects are created.
So 0004 registers the function just before doing them. The memory allocation has
been done at that time. If required, Assert() can be added in the callback.

Can you test it and confirm the issue was solved?
