But I found that the message "logging memory contexts of PID %d" can be sent to the client because it's ereport()'d with LOG level instead of LOG_SERVER_ONLY. Is this a bug, and shouldn't we use LOG_SERVER_ONLY level to log that message? Patch attached.

My bad, the v17 patch of pg_log_backtrace at [1] does emit at LOG_SERVER_ONLY.
