It'd be really nice to have a backtrace of that. PostgreSQL binaries for
Windows are released with debug information, and if you can reproduce
the crash it's not hard to get a stack trace showing a fair bit of
information about the state the backend was in when it crashed.
See:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Getting_a_stack_trace_of_a_running_PostgreSQL_backend_on_Windows
You'll need Debugging Tools for Windows or even better, the Visual C++
Express Edition. Both are free downloads. If you have a paid version of
Visual Studio, that's even better.
It is very important to set your symbol path up properly, and make sure
that the information you collect is useful. See the instructions above.
