My guess is that this is a crash in the PostGIS shared library. I would
ask the PostGIS team if they know of any crash cases, and if not, I
think you need to do a pg_dump of the database and test-load it into a
new database to see what query makes it fail, and then load debug
symbols and do a backtrace of the stack at the point of the crash.
Yeah, not fun.
