One possible explanation is that your small program got linked against a different version of libc than what the Postgres backend is using ("ldd" would help you check that, but given the age of the Postgres installation, this seems plausible). Beyond that it's hard to think of any explanation other than hardware fault or corrupted executable. regards, tom lane
