exit code -1073741819

Hi, All,

I'm working on a GIS project using PostgreSQL and PostGIS. In the project I need to find locations of about 12K addresses (the process is referred to as geocoding). I wrote some script to perform this task by calling a procedure "tiger_geocoding" that is provided by PostGIS. My script seems to crash the server after a while with the following message:

server closed the connection unexpectedly
This probably means the server terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
connection to server was lost

The log shows the following message:

My script is listed below:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION geocode_fall2006 () RETURNS VOID AS $$

address VARCHAR(255);
geom GEOMETRY;
tmp_geom GEOMETRY;
counter INTEGER := 0;
app_id VARCHAR(50);

f_geocoded BOOLEAN;
BEGIN
FOR app_id, address, st, f_processed, f_geocoded IN SELECT APPLICATION_ID, add, state, geoprocessed, geocoded FROM fall2006 LOOP
RAISE NOTICE 'add=%, app_id=%, state=%', address, app_id, st;
IF upper(st)='OH' AND f_processed='f'
THEN
geom := geocode_test(address);
IF geom IS NOT NULL
THEN
counter := counter + 1;
-- TIGER SRID is 32767.
tmp_geom := PointFromText('POINT(' || X(geom) || ' ' || Y(geom) || ')',4269);
tmp_geom := transform(tmp_geom,4326);
-- id := SRID(tmp_geom);
-- RAISE NOTICE 'srid=%', id;
UPDATE fall2006 SET lat_lon = tmp_geom WHERE APPLICATION_ID = app_id;
UPDATE fall2006 SET geocoded = 't' WHERE APPLICATION_ID = app_id;
RAISE NOTICE 'UPDATE fall2006 SET lat_lon = % WHERE APPLICATION_ID = %;', AsText(tmp_geom), app_id;
END IF;
UPDATE fall2006 SET geoprocessed = 't' WHERE APPLICATION_ID = app_id;
END IF;
END LOOP;
RAISE NOTICE 'counter=%', counter;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql

I googled and found a similar bug was reported for version 8.1 and was claimed to be fixed (http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2006-12/msg00214.php). However, the PostgreSQL in my machine is 8.2.4, which is supposed to be free of the bug. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
