Or HEAD contains something that either fixes or masks what's going on with my
v8.1 install........
FYI, it's a plain v8.1 with the given patch on autovacuum.c and an earlier
patch from Tom for the distinct bug which only touches ExecMain.c and
ExecUtils.c
> Test case attached for the curious ...
When I run that inside a transaction and wait for the autovacuum to kick in,
I'm not seeing any problem either.
Still, when restoring the larger dump, I immediately saw the same segfault. In
order to be sure I didn't forget it earlier, I did a make clean / make
install and tried again with the same result.
Given the original incidental nature of the problem combined with the fact
that I now get four coredumps out of four restores, I'd have to say the patch
is doing something alright ;).
The latest coredump refers to relid 284864 which again is the
purchaseorder_line table:
