There should be a core file left in the database subdirectory, eg
/usr/local/pgsql/data/base/DB/core
where DB represents the name of the database you used.
As the postgres user, do this (with appropriate pathname changes of course)
gdb /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/DB/core
and when you get the (gdb) prompt, enter "bt" for backtrace. You should
get a few dozen lines of printout, more or less like this:
(gdb) bt

The "q" command will get you out of gdb after you've copied and pasted
this info.
BTW, if you did not build the backend with "-g" included in CFLAGS, you
will get a much less complete backtrace ... but it may still tell us
something of use.
