Comment(by robe):

 I think this is a similar issue as I fixed in #2332.  The fundamental
 problem is with the geometry(TEXT) (which has underlying c function:
 parse_WKT_lwgeom )
 http://postgis.net/docs/doxygen/2.1/d9/d6e/lwgeom__inout_8c_a1b3eab5b08e6e0ccec4b8a2889e6bb8c.html#a1b3eab5b08e6e0ccec4b8a2889e6bb8c
 which does a  similar call to yet another PG function.

 Repeating all that code is too much and why it even bothers when it does
 nothing but pass along the result is beyond me.  I'm sure there's a whole
 bunch of leaky memory in here corrupting shared memory which 9.2 EDB
 64-bit is especially sensitive too.
