The core file usually appears in the data directory of the backend.
If you still can't find it, you can try attaching gdb to the running
backend. After the connection has started, find the backend (not the
postmaster) and attach using:
gdb -p <pid>
Once connected, type "cont" and proceed with the actions to trigger the
segfault. When the segfault happens, gdb will catch it and you can type
"bt" to see where you are...
Have a ncie day,
