Best thing to do is:

- Make sure your postgres is compiled with debug info, either in the
binary or split out.
- Enable core dumps prior to starting the postmaster.
"ulimit -S -c unlimited" should do it.

When it crashes next you should get a core file in the data directory.
Run: gdb /path/to/postmaster /path/to/corefile
Type: bt
and post the result. That should pin-point it.

Have a nice day,
