Sigh, that's no help at all :-(.  Looks like you are using a postgres
executable that's been stripped of all symbolic information.  Don't
suppose you want to compile from source to make a more debuggable copy?

Actually, maybe it's not quite no help at all.  I'm going to guess from
the numeric values that the core dump is occurring in a system library
(since the top address is so far different from the rest).  Since this
is a vacuum analyze, and since it's on a redhat machine, I'm going to
leap to a conclusion: maybe you are running into the known strcoll()
bug.  Are you running glibc earlier than 2.2.3?  If so, an update to
2.2.3 may fix it.  See the thread at
