OK, so pg_rewrite seems to be broken.  Not good...

You need to do "gdb /path/to/postgres/executable core".

Or try it like this instead:

        * fire up psql in one window
        * determine PID of backend connected to psql
        * attach to live backend process with gdb:
                gdb /path/to/postgres/executable
                attach PID
                cont
        * issue vacuum command to psql

gdb should catch the crash and then you can issue "bt".
