Well, the problem here might be in the fact that root usually has its
ulimit -c (the maximum size of core files created) set to 0. This
effectively disables core dumping. You can check this by issuing
ulimit -c
as root. Setting it to a reasonably large size via
ulimit -c 1000000
just before the vacuumdb command should resolve it. Running postmaster as
root is a dangerous idea from a security point of view, but it's well
documented so you probably know what you are doing ;-)
