crash creating tsearch2 index

Hi,

I'm trying to dump and restore a copy of a database in the same
cluster. pg_restore would abort when creating a tsearch2 gist index.
So I dumped to text removed the CREATE INDEX commands and tried to do
that at the end after the rest of the database was loaded. I still
have the same problem:

CREATE INDEX song_tsx_title_idx ON song USING gist (tsx_title
public.gist_tsvector_ops);
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: Succeeded.

This is pg 8.0.8 in a shared hosting environment, so I don't have a
lot of options for tweaking. Is there a known work-around for this?

Thanks,
