  1. Fix memory allocation/copy mistakes.

  1. Thinko in pgstat_build_snapshot()

    Etsuro Fujita <etsuro.fujita@gmail.com> — 2025-03-30T10:23:29Z

    While working on something else I noticed $SUBJECT: we are allocating
more memory than necessary and copying more data than necessary
because we specify the wrong PgStat_KindInfo member as the size
argument for MemoryContextAlloc and memcpy.  This could become
problematic if snapshotting a very large number of variables stats, so
I fixed it.  Attached is a patch for that.

Best regards,

Good catch. Patch looks good to me at quick glance.
