Is pcmiler a Postgres-specific backend extension?  It seems fairly
unlikely that it would be calling FileRead() if not.  Do you have any
other Postgres-specific libraries loaded into the backend?

The immediate issue is that FileRead() is being passed a bogus file
number, which might suggest an unexpected change in the contents of
a struct or something like that, but I see no record of any such changes
in the CVS log between 7.4.13 and 7.4.16.
