That's pretty odd.  Would you confirm what signal 29 is on your machine?
(On my Fedora 8 box, the numbers are defined in /usr/include/bits/signum.h
--- it's probably the same on yours.)

Fedora 8 says that 29 is SIGIO a/k/a SIGPOLL, but that doesn't make any
sense to me --- we don't use any calls that would trigger that.

Is this a locally built copy of Postgres, or an RPM installation?
If the latter, which RPM exactly?
