Darwin: make check fails with "child process exited with exit code 134"

Hello,

I am trying to compile PostgreSQL 9.3.1 on the new OS X Mavericks, which uses Darwin Kernel Version 13.0.0.

The compile process finishes fine, but when I am trying to test the resulting binary “make check” fails with:

> ============== initializing database system ==============
>
> pg_regress: initdb failed
> Examine /<my path>/postgresql-9.3.1/src/test/regress/log/initdb.log for the reason.

The “initdb.log” file contains the following lines:

> creating directory /<my path>/postgresql-9.3.1/src/test/regress/./tmp_check/data ... ok
> creating subdirectories ... ok
> selecting default max_connections ... 100

> child process exited with exit code 134

I was trying to compile with the default clang compiler as good as with the gcc-4.2 compiler. Both result in the same error message. I searched the mailing lists. Some fixed their "code 134” problems on other operating systems by deleting and re-compiling the PostgreSQL code directories. I did this a few times, but the result was always the same.
Any ideas?

Thank you for your support
