The above error would be logged only if the server was built with
assertions enabled. See the documentation for the --enable-cassert
configure option:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/install-procedure.html

If the server was built with debugging symbols (--enable-debug)
then you could obtain useful information from a core dump by using
a debugger like gdb to display a stack trace. To see examples
search the archives for words like "gdb" and "stack trace"
