since I put in this patch:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2008-02/msg00270.php
This is unfortunate and surprising, since that patch was intended to
prevent compilers from making unsafe alignment assumptions, but it sure
looks like this compiler has instead added a new one. Could you poke
into it --- at least get a stack trace from the core dump?
