I don't think so ;-).  Perhaps you have a corrupted copy of the postgres
executables?

It's worth noting that this is NOT what you'd see if the select count(*)
itself were failing.  Perhaps you have something going on in the
background that is causing a crash of a different query?  Look in your
postmaster log to find out what's actually failing, because the above is
merely blowback.
