I guess it would still be good to know why it crashes. I think the
reason you're not getting a good backtrace is that you're attempting to
get it from the client process, which is not the guilty one here. Same
for the ulimit setting: you have to apply it to the session running
postmaster, not psql. The core file should be located in your "data"
directory.
