Re: psql crashes postmaster

Does it fail for all users, or just some?  Did it used to work and is
now failing, or is this a new installation that's never worked?

What shows up in the postmaster log when this happens?  (If you're not
running with a postmaster log, reconsider that.)  Is there a core file
left behind, and if so what does gdb show for the backtrace?
