After recompiling with --enable-cassert, nserting into an empty table,
I get:
TRAP: FailedAssertion("!((VfdCache[0].fd == (-1)))", File: "fd.c", Line: 1113)
Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

But if I restart postgres and start with some data in the table, I
get, as before:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Since this only happens after a call to gistSplit(), I still suspect
GiST. But I've been going over the GiST code the past 3 days and I
still can't find anything substantially wrong.
