Hate to respond to myself, but Bruce noted that other people's \d on the
back end did not crash.

I had compiled postgres with shlicc2 which is the shared lib version of gcc2 
on bsdi. That version was crashing the back end. I recompiled with the
default gcc2 and it works magnificently 

Any clues ?
