x86_64, PostgreSQL 9.2. is run within an OpenVZ container and generates SIGBUS. PostgreSQL 9.1 has no such problem.
(OpenVZ is a linux kernel-level virtualization which adds namespaces for processes, networking, quotas etc. It works not like e.g. Xen or VMWare, because all containers share the same kernel.)
