Neither can I. All the non-Windows crashes in the buildfarm seem to be 
on 64-bit machines, although not all 64-bit members crash.

The callers of transformGenericOptions-function in foreigncmds.c use 
OidIsValid to check the return value of transformGenericOptions, but it 
returns an array, not an Oid. I committed a fix for that, we'll see if 
it heals the buildfarm.
