[pgpool-general: 8513] Segfaults on PgPool-II 4.3.2

Hello PgPool Team,

We've been experiencing frequent segfaults from PgPool-II 4.3.2, sometimes
as frequently as every 30min, when the cluster is under significant (though
normal for us) load. We've been using pgpool without issue for a while, and
these issues began occurring after we launched a cluster of all new
machines with no changes on the pgpool machines, and updated shared_buffers
(from "8000MB" to "14000MB" on machines with 32GB RAM) and decreased
swappiness on the PSQL nodes (vm.swappiness=1 to vm.swappiness=0 in
sysctl.conf). Following the segfaults the cluster appears to continue
behaving normally, though it's still a bit early for us to know for sure.

Details follow including core dump backtraces from gdb for two segfaults
we've observed recently (one in memcpy, another in
pool_find_item_on_shmem_cache), including `bt` and `bt full`. Please let us
know if there is any more information we can provide.

Thanks,
Jordan

Environment details (ubuntu-focal-20.04-amd64):

   - Cluster contains 3 PgPool nodes and 3 PSQL nodes, all on AWS EC2
   instances, pgpool.conf attached. Segfaults occurred on the leader at the
   time.

# This file is read on server startup and when the server receives a SIGHUP
