I've managed to reproduce this against REL9_1_STABLE
(4bdccd8427718f9c468e5e03286252f37ea771b5). I'm on OS X mavericks,
configure line: ./configure --enable-debug --with-openssl --with-perl
--with-libxml --with-readline. Compiler Apple LLVM version 5.0
(clang-500.2.79) (based on LLVM 3.3svn). No changes to postgresql.conf.

Does that help? Do you need some more information?
