initdb - segmentation fault - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hello all,
    I am trying to do an initdb and keep getting a segmentation fault
during the "Vacuuming database" portion of the initdb script.

    I am running PostgreSQL 7.1.3 on RedHat 7.1. I have the following
rpm's installed:
        postgresql-libs-7.1.3-1PGDG
        postgresql-7.1.3-1PGDG
        postgresql-server-7.1.3-1PGDG
        postgresql-devel-7.1.3-1PGDG

    Here is the output of the initdb -

[postgres@huma pgsql]$ initdb
This database system will be initialized with username "postgres".
This user will own all the data files and must also own the server
process.

NOTICE:  Initializing database with en_US collation order.
        This locale setting will prevent use of index optimization for
        LIKE and regexp searches.  If you are concerned about speed of
        such queries, you may wish to set LC_COLLATE to "C" and
        re-initdb.  For more information see the Administrator's Guide.

Here is my postgres user .bash_profile -

[postgres@huma postgres]$ cat .bash_profile
# .bash_profile

if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
        . ~/.bashrc
fi

And here is the output from gdb on the core dumped by initdb... this
core was dumped in the $PGDATA/base/1 directory -

If anyone can help me out and let me know what is going, I would greatly
appreciate it as a major project depends on the completion on this dbase
installation. Thanks in advance,
