Thread: current segfault if autovauum is on

It seems I get a segfault in backend if autovacuum is enabled. Here is
the backtrace when I connect to backend by using psql:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Any idea?

No, this particular bug existed only on the CVS HEAD branch, as it was
introduced there recently.
