I guess it would still be good to know why it crashes.  I think the
reason you're not getting a good backtrace is that you're attempting to
get it from the client process, which is not the guilty one here.  Same
for the ulimit setting: you have to apply it to the session running
postmaster, not psql.  The core file should be located in your "data"
directory.
