Hi, these are the shapefiles from 
http://www.nationalatlas.gov/atlasftp.html
which crashed shp2pgsql:

Public Land Survey (plss00p020)
County Boundaries (countyp020)
Railroads (railrdl020)
Roads (roadtrl020)
Water Features (hydrogm020)

The ones which did not crash, loaded OK are:

Agricultural Census (agcensp020)
Earthquakes (quksigx020)
Federal Large Areas (fedlanl020)
States (statesp020)

I did not test any of the other shapefiles on that site.
