Make sure you don't have any other PostgreSQL binaries or shared
libraries on your PATH that might be interfering with things. If you
installed to a --prefix you already had another postgresql install on,
this would explain the problem.

Once you've confirmed that's not the cause, you should get a backtrace
of the crash so it's possible to tell what happened. Enable core dumps
in your system, then attach gdb to a core dump and request a backtrace.
Let me know if you need a hand with that.
