Bus error on make check

I get the following errors upon running a make check for 8.1.3:

./pg_regress: line 503:  9002 Bus error               "$bindir/psql" -

pg_regress: createdb failed
make[2]: *** [check] Error 2
make[1]: *** [check] Error 2
make: *** [check] Error 2

Any ideas what could cause this?

Thanks,
