You have not provided a whole lot of detail here, but reading between
the lines I guess that it is psql core-dumping, not the backend?
Most likely that would be a problem of incompatibility with one of the
shared libraries that psql depends on. It's difficult to say more than
that with no details though. Did you build 7.3.2 yourself (if so, with
what configure switches) or install an RPM (if so, whose)? Can you
provide a stack trace from the segfault core dump? Does ldd on the psql
executable report a sane-looking set of shlib dependencies?
