A segmentation fault is certainly not normal, but it's hard to tell if
it's caused by a bug, misconfigured or buggy 3rd party modules, or
faulty hardware without some more information. Like:

- What version of PostgreSQL you are using?
- What does "UrlRecord_$1" table look like?
- What is your operating system?


A backtrace would help a lot to pinpoint the problem. Please run "ulimit
-c unlimited" or similar to enable core dumps, and then do:

gdb <path to postgres binary>/postgres $PGDATA/core
> bt

and post the output.
