Can you get a stack trace from the crash? https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Generating_a_stack_trace_of_a_PostgreSQL_backend The evidence may be gone by now for your current crash, but if so, make sure you are prepared to capture info from the next one. The other respondent might be right that this ultimately traces to data corruption, but it's hard to be sure without more info. regards, tom lane
