Hi all,

I wanted to close the loop on this... after seeing a few other processes
mysteriously segfault on the same machine, I ran a memory test (memtest86+)
which found 2 bad memory addresses. I replaced the RAM and had no more
issues with processes segfaulting. So, this was a hardware issue, not a
bug in postgresql.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for following up!
