psql always ends with a SEGV:

Hello,

We are starting to run PGSQL V7.1  on Solaris 7. It seems to work but
psql binary always ends with a SEGV.
Did somebody already see this problem?

> psql test701
Welcome to psql, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.

Type:  \copyright for distribution terms
       \h for help with SQL commands
       \? for help on internal slash commands
       \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
       \q to quit

test701=# \q
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

gdb get the following trace:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Paul McGarry just reported in pgsql-bugs that updating to gcc 2.95.3
made a similar problem go away for him.

OK but we don't use this version as that command shows :
PROMPT> gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.7/2.95.2/specs

gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)

Precisely.  Try updating to 2.95.3 to see if the problem goes away.
