Hmm ... it's not exactly a crash, but an intentional postmaster exit;
the log shows

LOG: received SIGHUP, reloading configuration files
LOG: parameter "custom_variable_classes" changed to "something"
FATAL: unrecognized configuration parameter "something.location"

Nonetheless, it's clearly not the desired behavior :-(. Will look.
