That's a long time and a lot of bugs ago. I do not recommend using
6.5.3; update to 7.1.3 and things will be better.
As for the specific problem, you didn't give us enough info to guess.
Output from the postmaster log file, or a stack trace from the crashed
backend, might help. But I'm not sure if it's worth worrying about
given the old PG version.
