It's strange.
I've found the explanation: The crashes are dependants on the value of the LANG environment variable. With LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 (my default value), I get instant crashes in many applications. After unsetting $LANG, all applications run as intended, including Postgres. I'll try to find more details and open a proper bug report soon. -- Francois Tigeot
