Can't reproduce this on Linux using 8.1 branch tip, so either it's
Windows-specific or it's been fixed recently ...

Should be windows-specific - I can reproduce it with 8.1.2 on WinXP SP2
and I can't reproduce it with 8.1.2 on Slackware Linux 9.1 (kernel 2.6.15).

By the way I have the crash report files Windows created -
postgres.exe.hdmp, postgres.exe.mdmp, appcompat.txt and manifest.txt.
