You probably need to adjust your "ulimit -c" setting to get a core dump
to be generated. Alternatively and maybe faster, just run psql under
gdb to start with:
$ gdb /path/to/psql
gdb> run arguments-for-psql-go-here
... interact with psql normally, provoke crash
gdb will report SIGSEGV and give you a prompt:
gdb> bt
... stack trace printed here ...
gdb> quit
$
If the stack trace contains only numeric addresses then it won't be any
help; in that case please recompile psql with debugging support so you
can get a useful trace.
