You probably need to adjust your "ulimit -c" setting to get a core dump
to be generated.  Alternatively and maybe faster, just run psql under
gdb to start with:

    $ gdb /path/to/psql
    gdb> run arguments-for-psql-go-here
    ... interact with psql normally, provoke crash
    gdb will report SIGSEGV and give you a prompt:
    gdb> bt
    ... stack trace printed here ...
    gdb> quit
    $

If the stack trace contains only numeric addresses then it won't be any
help; in that case please recompile psql with debugging support so you
can get a useful trace.
