Fresh from /var/log/postgres.log:

postgres localhost www-data auction SELECT: ../iconv/skeleton.c:297: gconv: Asse
rtion `outbufstart == ((void *)0)' failed.
Server process (pid 27393) exited with status 6 at Mon Oct  2 09:01:43 2000

Starting a new postmaster seems to cure the problem.

?? Anyone recognize that?

A few seconds with glimpse shows that there is no file named skeleton.c,
indeed no directory named iconv, in the current sources; much less any
routine named gconv; nor any variable named outbufstart.
So I'm pretty confused...
