Default Beta4 postgres.exe crash "...terminated by signal 5" - 11-16-2004 , 03:51 AM






Greetings.
I am very new to PostgreSQL so apologies in advance if this bug report is a
waste of time for some reason.

Summary:
I have been experimenting with 8.0 Beta4 on Windows XP and the attached SQL
resulted in a crash of the database (not the postmaster as far as I can
tell). My code creates a function, then another function to test it. Then
the test function is executed. During the execution of the test function the
process crashes.

Version:
PostgreSQL 8.0.0beta4 on i686-pc-mingw32, compiled by GCC gcc.exe (GCC)
3.3.1 (mingw special 20030804-1)
OS: Windows XP SP1

Recreating the problem:
Create a database and run the attached script against it using psql.

Observed Outcome:
postgres.exe crashes. See log file extract below.

Expected Outcome:
Either the tests should run to completion or an exception should be raised
(in the likely event that my syntax or logic is flawed).

FYI I have implemented my logic in a new way, so I don't need a fix, but
thought I'd pass on the details all the same.

Best Regards,
- John.

Not at all. Looks like you've found a mistake in where variables of
pass-by-reference datatypes get stored. Thanks for the report!
