This seems like it must be a server bug, and yet this log trace:

>    LOG:  incomplete message from client
>    ERROR:  invalid string enlargement request size 1476395004
>    LOG:  unexpected EOF on client connection
>    LOG:  incomplete message from client
>    ERROR:  invalid string enlargement request size 1476395004
>    LOG:  unexpected EOF on client connection

suggests that the client side is sending bogus data.

Can you provide a self-contained test case for this?
