Hmmmm... that looked amusing in a perverse way, and a diversion from test cases, so I gave it a try mid psql session, as follows:

    pendari=> select '2149Q1'::text similar to 
'((19)|(20))[0-9]{2}Q[1-4]'::text;
     ?column?
    ----------
     f
    (1 row)

    pendari=> select now()/0;
    Bus error: 10
    pendari:~ gavan$ psql --user=book_keeper --host=localhost pendari
    psql: could not connect to server: Connection refused

Ouch! That is a strange way to say "dude, what are you doing", even if it is totally accurate.
    PostreSQL:  9.2.1
    System:     Mac OS X Server Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
    Processor:  2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    RAM:        8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Nothing got to the log files

On the assumption that stupid user input should not crash the server I consider this to be a bug, but also assume there must be some details in my configuration that have brought this to light. So what extra information is needed to complete the picture?

Since I did the build myself I have the ./configure output files, and will see if a core dump has turned up somewhere. Anything else to add? and, what is the next step?

PS. Of course I will smile bravely if this is the postgresql equivalent of being Rick rolled :)
