Core Dump

PostgreSQL just quit on me unexpectedly for the first time ever. I have no doubt I did something stupid to cause it, but I can't find any clues in error logs. Here is a backtrace of the core file, I am wondering if it tells anyone anything.

I hacked my pltcl.so the other day, but all has been well up to now. I added a few SPI_freetuptable() to keep pltcl from hogging all the memory. I wonder if I hacked it a little wrong.
