I have set "ulimit -c unlimited" as you sugested,
i then copied postmaster to /home/postgres
and ran it as postgres from there...
but still no core files. Where should they appear?

I tried running from the command line and from within gdb and ddd.

Still the same segfaulting problem with to_tsvector(). Is it a problem
with tsearch2?

Thanks,
Mat
