"segfault" seems to mean you hit a bug, which we'll want more information to
diagnose. Could you install debugging symbols ? Ubuntu calls their package
postgresql-10-dbg or similar. And start server with coredumps enabled, using
pg_ctl -c -D /var/lib/postgresql/10/main (or similar). Then trigger the query
and hope to find a core dump in the data directory. Or possibly it'll be
processed into /var/crash by apport daemon, depending if that's running and
enabled (check /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern).

In this case, you ran out of RAM, as you noticed. You should make sure ANALYZE
statistics are up to date (including manually ANALYZEing any parent tables).

What is work_mem setting ?

You could try running the query with lower work_mem, or check EXPLAIN ANALYZE
and try to resolve any bad rowcount estimates.

It says "Access Denied", perhaps you could send a link to
