What version are you running? I seem to recall a bug with symptoms like
that having been around for a short time.
If it's current code (7.1.3 or later) then it's worth gdb'ing. Try
gdb psql-executable-file psql-core-file
gdb> bt
gdb> quit
and send in the results. If you don't get anything symbolic from the bt
command, you'll need to rebuild with debug symbols to get a useful
trace.
