Hi,

The symptom:

The PostgreSQL backend sometimes does not terminate a query. (Killed after
the backend consumed 1h30 of CPU time.)

That query usually executes in less than 2 seconds, see also the explain 
analyze.

Version: 8.0.2

Query:
select cel.objid,
             cel.shortname, ser.shortname,
             con.isInventoryFlag,
             dev.objid, dty.objid, loc.objid,
             dev.shortname, loc.shortname, loc.name, man.shortName,
             dty.type, dev.serNr, dev.invNr, dev.component,
             loc.zip, loc.city, con.shortname, con.name,
            CASE
       WHEN CURRENT_DATE between loc.locationstateFrom  and 
loc.locationstateTo  THEN loc.locationstateText
       WHEN CURRENT_DATE between loc.locationstate2From and 
loc.locationstate2To THEN loc.locationstate2Text
       ELSE null
     END
     ,      CASE

loc.locationstateTo  THEN loc.locationstateColorCode
       WHEN CURRENT_DATE between loc.locationstate2From and 
loc.locationstate2To THEN loc.locationstate2ColorCode
       ELSE null
     END
     ,
            loc.locationcategory, loc.province

       order by 18 ASC

With gdb's ability to execute until the current function (stack frame) return,
I found out which function (stack frame) is the up-most in this endless loop.
That frame is marked with the arrow.

Is this bug-report of any use so far ?
