Hm, it works fine here. You'll need to give more details about
platform, configuration options, any nondefault settings in
postgresql.conf, etc. A stack trace from the core dump would be
helpful as well, in case we still can't reproduce it.

It was OpenBSD 3.2-CURRENT with propolice.
With patches for gcc from 25/12/2002 i can't reproduce coredump anymore.
So, it was OpenBSD related bug.
