In detoast_attr_slice, VARSIZE_ANY was used to compute compressed length of on-disk TOAST values. That's incorrect, because the varlena value may be just a TOAST pointer, producing either bogus value or crashing. This is likely why the code was crashing on big-endian machines before 540f31680913 replaced the VARSIZE with VARSIZE_ANY, which however only masked the issue.
