Comment:

 As a proof of analisys validity, I tried renaming rt_init_allocators to
 rt_init_allocators23 and I confirm it does fix the issue.

 But I'd rather do this right rather than hack a workaround.
 Doing it right would mean NOT relying on the exposure of client of an
 "rt_init_allocators" function, but rather take a function pointer from a
 function. It could be a pointer to an "init_allocators" function for
 simplificy or even better a proper context context initialization, which
 would also help playing some with the upcoming multi-threaded PostgreSQL.

 I'm reassigning this to Bborie as the raster subsystem maintainer (feel
 free to unassign).
