Hm, the backtrace says the problem is somewhere inside libreadline,
which means it has nothing to do with any SQL-level concepts, but
rather with editing your input text. Did you do anything unusual
while typing that line of input --- say, recall it from history,
or edit it in a way that you don't usually do, or even mistype
some control character you don't usually type?
Sadly, the visible evidence here doesn't tell us much of anything
about what provoked the crash :-(
FWIW, there's a pretty good chance that this isn't psql's fault
per se, but a libreadline bug. You might check to see if you can
get a newer readline version installed.
