This is bad :-(

I tried to reproduce the problem on the Alpha available at
SourceForge's compile farm. No luck --- regression tests run
perfectly there, at least with vanilla configuration (I used
"configure --enable-cassert"). So it doesn't seem hardware-
specific, but perhaps it depends on the OS.

Is there not even a report of the backend crashing? If the postmaster
did not log a child-exit message then there's something more than a
plain old backend crash here.
