Hmm, seems like your system is under undue memory pressure ...

This seems slightly insane. Get a pooler ... or, since you say you
already have one, let *it* do the multiplexing.

One thing that you might not have noticed is that "jit" defaults to on
as of v12. Turning it off would prevent this specific crash case.
(The fact that it's a crash comes from llvm's crummy error handling :-()
You might still have OOM problems, but with luck they'd not take down
the whole database.
