Signal 10 is SIGBUS (bus error) on FreeBSD 4.11.  Somewhere under
$PGDATA there might be a core dump named postmaster.core (or, more
specifically, with a file name based on the kern.corefile sysctl
setting) -- if there is, then a debugger like gdb might be able to
show where the problem happened, especially if the postmaster was
built with debugging info.
