Bug reference:      4630
Logged by:          Nick Withers
Email address:      nick@nickwithers.com
PostgreSQL version: 8.3.5
Operating system:   FreeBSD 7-STABLE
Description:        Null-pointer dereference on FreeBSD / PowerPC in
PageIsPrunable ()
Details:

Have been regularly getting segfaults on my lone FreeBSD PowerPC G4 (7400)
system for months.

This was reported to the general mailing list ().

PostgreSQL is used as a database backend for Bacula backups on this
machine.

I'm not knowledgeable enough to create a minimalist test case, and these
segfaults don't seem to be triggered reliably.

Here're a couple of backtraces:
