psql 7.3.1 crash

First of all a big THANK YOU to all out there making PostgreSQL possible!
Especially the new features in 7.3 (drop column, schema and the new
constraint handling) make life easier.

Now to my problem:
Short version: I was able to crash psql repeatedly using the \e command and
EDITOR=gnuclient

Long version:
I have a 7.3.1 setup which look normal (to me):

postgres@rtulmx0101 pgsql_data > uname -a

Now, if I do
postgres@rtulmx0101 pgsql_data > export EDITOR=gnuclient

and then
postgres> psql
Welcome to psql 7.3.1, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.

SET       (the SET comes from setting the search_path in my startup file)

That was the last I got while pressing <TAB> to complete the 'f' to 'from'.

gdb sais this:

Now I tried with EDITOR=vi ... no problem.

Then I tried again with EDITOR=gnuclient, this time I got:

> export EDITOR=gnuclient
> psql

SET
tschwarz=# \e     <typing a query in gnuclient/xemacs, then pressing DONE,
SAVE>
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The result of the query was shown correctly, but when I hit 'q', psql dumped
core. You can see the query in the backtrace below:

BTW, the postmaster logfile said something like "unexpected EOF from client",
but I can't remember correctly.

Any ideas?
