Did anyone get multi-column GIST indexes working using both
the gist_btree and postgis modules?
It seems to work fine for me on small test cases (shown
at the bottom), but seems to crash my database for large
ones. Any advice is welcome - including pointers to better
lists to ask questions like this.
Output showing a crash (on a large database) and a
successful run on a tiny one follow.

server closed the connection unexpectedly
This probably means the server terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Succeeded.
