The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference: 3571
Logged by: Ken Colson
Email address: ken(dot)colson(at)sage(dot)com
PostgreSQL version: 8.1.9
Operating system: centOS 64 bit (Linux 2.6.18-8.1.6.el5)
Description: call to decrypt causes segfault
Details:

this statement:

select decrypt(''::bytea,'password','bf')

causes the postgresql backend to crash:

kernel: postmaster[3368]: segfault at 000000011f391a83 rip 00002aaab2e6e1a0
rsp 00007fffdadd9be0 error 4

This seems to be a 64bit problem. The problem was duplicated on 8.2.4 on 64
bit Ubuntu 7.

thanks,
Ken Colson
