Sorry about that. All statements are calling one of two pl/pgsql
functions. While that information already helps me a lot, it'll take me
a while to step through the code. Those functions are outer wrappers
calling many other procedures.
Well, the stack trace you showed previously indicates that the crash is
happening in the outermost plpgsql function (ie, one called directly
from a client SQL command). However it's certainly true that the crash
might be a consequence of something that had been done a bit earlier in
another function called by this one.
Sorry for the late reply. The only DDL performed is indeed in the outer
function and it's a TRUNCATE, immediately followed by an INSERT SELECT
to repopulate the truncated table.
As mentioned, I build 8.3.10 from source using --enable-debug
--enable-cassert. I had issues with this version causing protection
faults. Also the backtrace I got from that still doesn't include line
numbers and arguments. So I assume I missed something important when
doing the build?

I decided to strip the debug options (as they somehow seem to cause
issue on that system) and instead apply the patch you pointed out. No
crashes since then anymore.
Thanks for your support.
