8.4.x has been tested by hundreds of machines. I build it here on a
Debian machine at least once a week and I have never seen this problem.
I don't think it's a generic PG problem; maybe there's something wrong
with your machine or setup. Have you tested the hardware? Is the
error reproducible exactly in the same way every time? (if not, it might
suggest a hardware problem -- did you try memtest86?). If it's not a
hardware problem, how did you compile it?
