ok, an update on this.  we actually covered up the bug in reducing the
problem to our test case.  our make system used cp -f to overwite the
.so file in use by postgresql.  interestingly, this will cause a crash
on the .so reload via LOAD.  There may be a perfectly normal reason
for this.

so,
1. compile just about any c function
2. create a function/load it
3. recompile and cp -f over the one in use (cp works ok)
4. reload...crash
