Hi all
I am get the occasional seg fault running 8.4.1 and Postgis (recent)
on Mac OS X -- I am not sure if I can reproduce them, but they might
be of interest to the project. Does anybody have any advice on filing
bug reports, ?

Are you able to determine if they are caused by 8.4.1 or Postgis? Narrowing this
down early really helps. Also a full stacktrace will be important. You might
need to rebuild postgres and postgis with full debug symbols depending on your
current build. Finally, steps to repeat are usually required.

That sounds like an important bug.
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/bug-reporting.html
The most important thing is giving enough information so that a
developer can see the problem for themselves.
Also, do what you can to figure out if it is a postgis bug or a
postgresql bug. If it happens in postgresql without postgis, it's
obviously a postgresql bug. If the bug is hard to reproduce, you may
need to post bug reports to both projects.
