The following bug has been logged online:
Bug reference: 5269
Logged by: Justin Pitts
Email address: justinpi...@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 8.4.2
Operating system: Debian Lenny 2.6.30-bpo.1-amd-64 kernel
Description: postgres backend terminates with SIGSEGV
Details:
I originally experienced this on 8.4.1.
Postgres backend terminates with SIGSEGV. I can reproduce this behavior only
about 30% of the time by manipulating my application. The application
performs a steady stream of inserts all the time, and the provoking action
is a rather complex report.
I am including a backtrace. Sanitizing a simple, clear repro case will take
us some time, and it may be easier for us to host a duplicate machine for
someone to ssh into. Please let me know if that is reasonable, or how else I
can assist.
Core was generated by `postgres: ssjiddwdbusr ssjiddwdb 192.168.20.35(46628)
S'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

I notice bug # 5238, but I have no idea if it is related. I'll take a
hint from it however:
(gdb) p (char *) debug_query_string
$1 = 0x166e190 "SELECT \"datawarehouse\".spr_update_device($1, $2, $3,
$4, $5, $6, $7, $8, $9, $10)"
This is somewhat unexpected. I expected the 'complex report' to be here,
but
this is a writer process which manages a data warehouse schema.
I know more information is needed. I am hoping this is helpful in the
meantime.
