Hi
I am testing PostgreSQL in customer's environment and I found some unexpected behave.
When auto_explain is used, and there is slower parallel query, then auto_explain raises log for any slow process.
arallel worker for PID 20089 : auto_explain database=NULL client=local appname=psql
arallel worker for PID 20089 : duration: 121.250 ms plan:
arallel worker for PID 20089 : Query Text: select sum(a) from bigtable group by b;
arallel worker for PID 20089 : Partial HashAggregate (cost=10675.00..10774.59 rows=9959 width=12)
arallel worker for PID 20089 : Group Key: b
arallel worker for PID 20089 : -> Parallel Seq Scan on bigtable (cost=0.00..8591.67 rows=416667 width=8)

It is expected behave? Minimally it is undocumented and in this case a global variable MyProcPort is not initialized.
