I've only compiled postgres once before and this is a production environment
(althought nothing so important that the crashes are a serious concern either).

Is it reasonable to wget the postgres tarball, apply the patch, and run the
compiled postgres binary from the source tree, without running make install or
similar ?  Otherwise, would it be good enough to copy the postgres binary to
/usr/pgsql-10/bin (and reinstall the binary package later) ?

Thanks,
