Ah, I forgot about the CRT problems on Windows. So my statement of
"the linker might not garbage collect" is pretty much irrelevant.

But it sounds like we agree that we shouldn't be using fe_memutils at
all in shlib builds. (If you can't use palloc -- it calls exit -- then
you can't use pfree either.) Is 0002 still worth pursuing, once I've
correctly wordsmithed the commit? Or did I misunderstand your point?

Thanks!
