Well, that is for *sure* a backend crashing --- with signal 11, which
is SIGSEGV on most Unixen.  There should be a coredump.  Poke around in
your OS documentation and see if you can figure out what's preventing
the core file from being written.

(BTW, you are looking in the right place no? $PGDATA/base/yourdbname/core)
