Hi Reggie,

Have you upgraded your system with freebsd-update or csup recently?  Did
you install PostgreSQL from a binary package or build it in the ports tree?

This is a thread from someone with the same problem, although a
different application: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=6661

It sounds like a fresh rebuild from the ports tree might fix the
problem, but YMMV.

Hope that helps,
Greg
