Strange. I thought I used shlicc on 6.3 and bsdi 3.1, but I am not
sure.
Can you send a backtrace of the crash through gdb? It will be tricky
because you have to get the query from psql.c that is \d, start up gdb
on a backend, and run the query. The backtrace may show that if you
sent it to me.
Do all queries fail, or just \d? Strange. I don't know what it is
about shlicc that would cause a failure.
