The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      1500
Logged by:          nagash
Email address:      postgresql@nagash.org
PostgreSQL version: 8.0.1
Operating system:   RedHat
Description:        child dead
Details:

site_utf=# SELECT to_char(NOW() - '2000-10-02'::date, 'YYYYMonDD');
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.

tested on 2 servers and it show with exactly 'YYYYMonDD' if I write
SELECT to_char(NOW() - '2000-10-02'::date, 'YYYY');

it will be OK

Hmm, I get bad output rather than a core dump, but it certainly seems
like a "must fix" if a dump is possible.  Karel, can you look into it?

regression=# select to_char('1605 days 12:09:35'::interval, 'YYYYMonDD');
  to_char
-----------
 0001Ä@16
(1 row)

regression=#

I got sig-11 here (although that was with an 8.0 beta I had lying
around) - does it with intervals but not with dates.

If it's any help, on windows 8.0.0, I get a popup that says

'The instruction at "0x78001d90" referenced memory at "0x00000000".  The
memory could not be read."
