While trying to create a new dictionary for use with PostgreSQL text
search, I get a segfault. My Postgres version is 8.3.5

The dictionary I use is the "Norwegian Bokmål & Nynorsk (Norway) pack
for OOo 2.x" downloaded from
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries#Norwegian_.28Norway.29

I've also uploaded the dictionary and affix-file used to this location:
http://folk.uio.no/tommygi/postgres/nb_no.dict
http://folk.uio.no/tommygi/postgres/nb_no.affix

These are unpacked from the zip-file I got from the above location, and
converted to UTF-8 with the following commands:
- iconv -f latin1 -t utf-8 nb_NO.dic > nb_no.dict
- iconv -f latin1 -t utf-8 nb_NO.aff > nb_no.affix

The command I use is this:
CREATE TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY no_ispell (
TEMPLATE = ispell,
DictFile = nb_no,
AffFile = nb_no,
StopWords = norwegian
);

I've uploaded a strace of the process at
http://folk.uio.no/tommygi/postgres/strace.txt
This is captured with strace -p<pid>. Since this is about the extent of
my knowledge of strace, please let me know if there's any other options
I should specify.

Relevant parts of the postgres log file is included below.
