GiST Support in 8.1

We're migrating from a 7.4 (Linux AS2.1) system to an 8.1.5 (Linux RHEL4
X64) system.

In 7.4, we used tsearch (txtidx fields) on some tables.

When we attempt to load the indexes for those fields in 8.1.5, we get a
strange SEGV.

\d historyticket
[cut]
short_summary_idx | txtidx |
[cut]

XXXXX=> CREATE INDEX historyticket_idx_12 ON historyticket USING gist
(short_summary_idx);
server closed the connection unexpectedly
This probably means the server terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed.

From the server log:

LOG: statement: CREATE INDEX historyticket_idx_12 ON historyticket
USING gist (short_summary_idx);

Anyone else run into this problem? Unfortunately, I didn't set up
tsearch on the 7.4 system, so perhaps I've missed something obvious.
