Hmm. Core dump inside libreadline's exit-cleanup routine, evidently.
I bet if you run psql with the -n switch, you don't see any problem?
Of course you won't have any command history either, so this isn't much
of an answer.

We have seen previous reports of weird misbehavior involving
libreadline, though mostly on Solaris IIRC. I'd suggest making sure you
have the most up-to-date libreadline, and perhaps recompile both that
and psql from source.
