Hmm, can you get a stack trace? Please see
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Getting_a_stack_trace_of_a_running_PostgreSQL_backend_on_Windows

Probably the easiest way to catch a dying autovacuum process is to set a
very high value of vacuum_cost_delay, so that it sleeps for long enough
that you can attach to it with the debugger before it dies.

Thanks
