yeah... i dont think it will be related to index anyway.
it looks to me that some extra bytes are written to the allocated
memory when locale is set to en-US etc. The warning

"WARNING:  detected write past chunk end in ExprContext 02C6D0F8"

is generated when you write bytes on a location more than its allocated size,
and this thing will eventualy lead to a server crash.

Now, I would suggest try to minimize the script and look for the action
with leads to this warning. Then a debug would be easy on the execution
path and I guess, there won't be any problem in parsing and planning.

Can you send me the knotty script BTW?

Can someone point me towards what next to check? :-)

Oh, and per Thomas, this does NOT appear to happen in C locale, but
happens in both de_CH and en_US. ANd I've tested in Swedish_Sweden,
which also crashes.

Note that this appears not to be index related at all, because during
this test there is only a standard btree index on "someint", and nothing
on the tsvector column.
