seg fault crashed the postmaster

Hi,

Running Centos, just upgraded our production db from 8.4.4 to 9.0.2 last
night. About 20 hours later, an update statement seg faulted and crashed
the server. This is a typical update that has worked fine for a long time.

20898 datafeed (58628) 2010-12-30 19:28:14 EST [103]LOG: process 20898

One hint that something might be wrong was this:

How concerned should I be? Thanks!

Gordon
