Considering that this is a crasher, I think we'll need to back-patch this. The proposed patch applies only as far back as 8.3, due to the lazy XID assignment changes in that version, but it looks like the bug exists all the way back to 8.0. It looks like only minor adjustments are required for the older branches, though. 7.4 is not affected, as it does not have subtransactions. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise Postgres Company -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
