postmaster segfault when using SELECT on a table

Hello,

I have a smallish postgres database that segfaults everytime when I try to
access a certain row in a certain column.

xxx=# select file_id from dbfiles offset 632531 limit 1;
server closed the connection unexpectedly
        This probably means the server terminated abnormally
        before or while processing the request.
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed.

file_id is a varchar(40).

The database is a selfcompiled 8.2.6 on a x86_64 linux 2.6 machine
that was running well for about 8 months before it started exhibiting the
problem a couple days ago.
I tried upgrading to 8.2.7 but the problem is still occuring.

I have recompiled the postgres server without -O2 and with -g and have
captured a coredump. Here's a bt and the first section of a bt full.
If you need more information, please don't hesistate to contact me.
