As you see the initdb was initialized with es_ES(at)euro locale (LATIN9).

When connecting via psql to a database encoded in UTF8 and client_encoding
is LATIN9 (or LATIN1) and try a wrong query I've the PANIC error.

PANIC: ERRORDATA_STACK_SIZE exceeded
server closed the connection unexpectedly
This probably means the server terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
La conexin al servidor se ha perdido. Intentando reiniciar: fall.

The sequence is:

postgres(at)xxxxx::~$ createdb -E UTF8 testutf
CREATE DATABASE
postgres(at)xxxxx::~$ psql testutf
testutf=# SELECT kk;
ERROR: no existe la columna kk
LINE 1: SELECT kk;
testutf=# SET client_encoding TO LATIN9;
testutf=# SELECT kk;
PANIC: ERRORDATA_STACK_SIZE exceeded
server closed the connection unexpectedly
This probably means the server terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed.

I've tried in 2 differents installations.

P.D. Sorry for my poor english.
