What is signal 5 in XP? I looked in the MinGW source used to build
PostgreSQL 8.1.4 and there is no mention of a signal 5 there. I see
signal 5 mentioned here:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2004-11/msg00175.php
and it was diagnosed as an invalid memory access.
I suggest you upgrade to the newest release of 8.1.X, 8.1.9. It does
not require you to dump your database. This might fix it:
ftp://ftp5.ca.postgresql.org/mirrors/postgresql/binary/v8.1.9/win32
