Status 139 indicates a SEGV trap on most Unixen. There should be a core
dump left by the crashed backend --- can you get a backtrace from it
with gdb?
I concur that this probably indicates corrupted data in the file. We
may or may not be able to guess how it got corrupted, but a stack trace
seems like the place to start.
