The allocations used for the static array ExplainExtensionOptionArray, that tracks a set of ExplainExtensionOption, used "char *" instead of ExplainExtensionOption as the memory size consumed by one element, underestimating the memory required by half. The initial allocation of ExplainExtensionNameArray wants to hold 16 elements before being reallocated, and with "char *" it meant that there was enough space only for 8 ExplainExtensionOption elements, 16 bytes required for each element. The backend would crash once one tries to register a 9th EXPLAIN option. As far as I can see, the allocation formulas of GetExplainExtensionId() have been copy-pasted to RegisterExtensionExplainOption(), but the internal maths of the copy were not adjusted accordingly.
