The crash backtrace

When trying to run PostgreSQL (e.g., postgresql-13 on Debian 11, installed with
"sudo apt install postgresql-13") under GDB using the following script:
###
PGDB=/tmp/tmpdb
rm -rf "$PGDB" || true; /usr/lib/postgresql/13/bin/initdb -D "$PGDB" 
gdb --command=~/postgres-gdb.py --args /usr/lib/postgresql/13/bin/postgres -D
"$PGDB" -k /tmp/ -p 15432
###

and ~/postgres-gdb.py:
###
# Disable pagination to prevent interactive prompts
gdb.execute("set pagination off")
# Attach to both parent and child on fork
gdb.execute("set detach-on-fork off")
# Stop/resume all processes
gdb.execute("set schedule-multiple on")
# Don't stop child processes
gdb.execute("set non-stop on")

# Don't care about these signals
gdb.execute("handle SIGUSR1 noprint nostop pass")
gdb.execute("handle SIGUSR2 noprint nostop pass")
gdb.execute("handle SIGHUP print nostop pass")
gdb.execute("handle SIGTERM print nostop pass")
gdb.execute("handle SIGPIPE print nostop pass")
gdb.execute("handle SIGQUIT print nostop pass")


def exit_handler (event):
    gdb.execute("inferior 1")

gdb.events.exited.connect(exit_handler)

gdb.execute("run")
###

I get gdb crash with the following diagnostics:

(b19d96d1).
