I didn't find 6200 when looking for mentions of this problem. So thanks for 
that.

I have read the thread now and I guess it could be the same kind of thing. I 
have tried creating a cut-down version of what is happening for real, but that 
didn't  cause the problem.

I do have a bunch of core files, but I'm not (yet!) familiar with pg code so I 
am unable to usefully analyse it.

One idea I saw mentioned in #6200 is of using another HS. I didn't think of 
that before. I may try creating another (or more) of them to see if I can 
reproduce it more quickly.
