Re: Postgres Crash Running PLPGSQL Function on 8.2.3

Sorry, it took so long to build a test case, but I think I have
something reproducible that won't be a burden to transport.

What made this problem even more strange was that if my tables only
contained the record I was calculating with, then the problem would not
manifest.

So, I have stripped down the database a lot and its ready for posting.

Tom, how would you like me to get this to you?

I need to extract the necessary database components to repro the problem
and find out how much data it will require. I will need some time to
prepare that for sending. I should be able to prepare something today,
or tomorrow.

My Thanks for giving this problem attention. Until this is fixed, I
can't upgrade past this point (v8.1.8).

As said previously, my code works perfectly on 8.1.8 on Windows 2003
SP1. A colleague of mine tested my code on a Postgres 8.2.3 running on
FreeBSD, and it too ran without incident.

Understood; it won't go anywhere. But how large is "rather large"?
Can you duplicate the problem with no (or less) data?
