ok, an update on this. we actually covered up the bug in reducing the problem to our test case. our make system used cp -f to overwite the .so file in use by postgresql. interestingly, this will cause a crash on the .so reload via LOAD. There may be a perfectly normal reason for this. so, 1. compile just about any c function 2. create a function/load it 3. recompile and cp -f over the one in use (cp works ok) 4. reload...crash merlin
