What platform are you on exactly, and which version of postgres is this?
Did you compile it yourself --- if so, with what compiler and configure
options? If not, where did you get the executables from?

The most direct way to get some info about that would be to run initdb
with the --noclean option so that it doesn't throw away the failed data
directory, and then use gdb with the core file that the crashed postgres
process would have left:
$ gdb /path/to/postgres /path/to/core
gdb> bt
... report what it says here ...
gdb> quit
If you don't find any core file within the failed data directory, try
running it with "ulimit -c unlimited".
