Yup, backward memcpy it is (from /var/log/messages):

Am I mistaken in understanding that this is an issue with postgresql itself,
and not a local configuration error?
I tried building postgres with debug symbols (I added the flags described
here[1] to the ports Makefile), but the backtrace is still useless:
# sudo -u _postgresql gdb -q -c postgres.core /usr/local/bin/postgres
Core was generated by `postgres'.
Program terminated with signal 6, Aborted.
Loaded symbols for /usr/local/bin/postgres
#0 0x00000bd73424292a in ?? ()
(gdb) bt
#0 0x00000bd73424292a in ?? ()
#1 0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()
Do I need any further OpenBSD-specific changes to get a useful backtrace?
(I've
to admit that I'm too familiar with debuging with gdb on any platform).
Thanks for all the feedback so far!
