I want share how I was able to address the crashes on Lucid. In summary,
I rebuild the source  packages from Precise and installed them, and that
fixed it.  I suspect the fix might have come in 1.0.28 or 1.0.29, as
they included these fixes in the changelog:

" Fix crash with PostgreSQL" and "Fixes segfaults on glibc".

This was my process:

- Add a 'precise/universe' 'deb-src' line to /etc/apt/sources.list
- apt-get update
cd ~/tmp
apt-get source pure-ftpd-postgresql 
- remove line above from /etc/apt/sources.list
- apt-get update
cd pure-ftpd-1.0.35
apt-get build-dep pure-ftpd-postgresql
debuild -us -uc
cd ../
sudo dpkg -i pure-ftpd-postgresql_1.0.35-1_amd64.deb 
pure-ftpd-common_1.0.35-1_all.deb 

If anything is found to be wrong with the new packages, an
uninstall/install cycle would return the machine to using the "Lucid"
packages.

Stefan Hornburg, you appear to be the package maintainer and also
subscribed to this bug. Would it be possible to create a new release for
Lucid that includes this crash-fix?
