[Bug] Test suite fails on Travis with Node 11 (segmentation fault)

[MichielDeMey]

Test suite on Travis using Node 11 seems to fail with a segmentation fault.

I'm seeing a similar (maybe related?) issue with a core dump on node:carbon-alpine (node@sha256:396b157f138a837de34fc48dc0ca8e37bf04d2fefc568e962acf429418950948 ) with sequelize using native postgres bindings.

It was working a week ago, in the mean time alpine has updated it's postgres (and libpq) version from 10.7-r0 to 11.2-r0

It does, however, work fine on my development machine. There are a lot of differences between my machine, my AWS instance, and your Travis CI instance, but the one similarity I can see between your failing TravisCI pipeline and my failing AWS VM is the kernel version 4.4.0. My dev machine is at 5.0.9.
