Ok, that helps a bit and the output now looks a little more useful:

Program terminated with signal 10, Bus error.
#0 InitializeGUCOptions () at guc.c:3133
3133 if (new_limit > 100)
(gdb) bt
#0 InitializeGUCOptions () at guc.c:3133
#1 0x004a1ec8 in AuxiliaryProcessMain (argc=4, argv=<value optimized out>)
at bootstrap.c:230
#2 0x005979a8 in main (argc=4, argv=<value optimized out>) at main.c:147
(gdb)

So, guc.c:3133 is doing something to try and set stack depth.... And I've no idea what I'm looking for unfortunately.

And, the instruction pointer info:

I thought the same, but was hoping it's just a display problem.
