The \d series of psql commands are really just shortcuts for various SQL
queries to the system catalogs. Start psql with the -E option to see them.
Therefore it is unlikely that this behaviour is entirely localized at
these functions. Have you run the regression tests without problems?

Can you show the server output. There's probably a segmentation fault or
failed assertion in the backend involved, which we'd need to see.

That's certainly a psql problem. Can you show a backtrace from gdb?
