I tired but it breaks in the Postmaster and not in the backend process that
is created for each process.

Why not just the following

gdb postmaster

Set one ore more breakpoints where you think the problem
might be, then type 'run'.

Start the client and with a bit of luck gdb will break at
the breakpoint set.

You may need to do this a couple of times until you
have found the right area in the code.
