backend dies on 7.1.1 loading large datamodel.

I just checked out CVS this morning the REL7_1_STABLE branch.  I
configured it with:

  ./configure --enable-debug

and ran the regression test fine on OpenBSD 2.8  (AMD processor) (The
same problem has been reproduced by someone else on RH6.2)

I then proceed to load the OpenACS datamodel and had the backend crash.
This datamodel loads fine on 7.1.

I can send the datamodel and core file if needed.  I loaded GDB with the
core file and got the following:

$ gdb /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster postgres.core
