Hello Tom,
Thanks for your prompt responses so far.
I have reconfigured and rebuild as you advice.
and i even have a core file. the problem is i have no clue which executable generated the core file.
I tried some that looked trivial but they were not it.
Is the a way to deduce based on the log or the script what executable has failed?
PS> I am fully capable of using gdb.
Thanks in advance.

OK, that crash should be leaving a core file --- try to get a stack
trace from the core and post it here. If you didn't already configure
with --enable-debug, do so and rebuild, else the trace won't be very
useful. If you're not familar with gdb, the basic idea is
$ gdb /path/to/postgres-executable /path/to/corefile
gdb> bt
gdb> q
