Sorry, I did not mention the exact example I'd used but I thought it
was just any arbitrary example:

CREATE TABLE t1(c1, c2)  SELECT g1, repeat('x', 5) FROM
generate_series(1, 10000000) g;

CREATE TABLE t2(c1, c2)  SELECT g1, repeat('x', 5) FROM
generate_series(1, 1000000) g;

SELECT count(*) FROM t1 JOIN t2 ON t1.c1 = t2.c1 AND t1.c1 BETWEEN 100 AND 200;

The observed behavior included a hang or segfault arbitrarily (that's
why I guessed it may be arbitrariness of sequence of detachment of
workers).

Changed parameters to cause plan to include a Funnel:

parallel_seqscan_degree = 8
cpu_tuple_communication_cost = 0.01/0.001

Thanks,
Amit
