I don't think this is related to fsm, actually. Seems like something in
autovacuum, and there was this fix in 8.1.16 (from the release notes):
Fix crash in autovacuum (Alvaro)
The crash occurs only after vacuuming a whole database for
anti-transaction-wraparound purposes, which means that it occurs
infrequently and is hard to track down.
So I would suggest upgrading. If that doesn't help, and you can
reproduce the issue, a backtrace from a core dump would be nice.
