Fwiw, I see that the crash can also occur even when using a non-partitioned table in the query, as shown in the following example which reuses Rajkumar's test data and query: create table foo (a int, b int, c text); postgres=# insert into foo select i%20, i%30, to_char(i%12, 'FM0000') from generate_series(0, 36) i; select dense_rank(b) within group (order by a) from foo group by b order by 1; server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request. The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed. Following query in the regression test suite can also be made to crash by adding a group by clause: select dense_rank(3) within group (order by x) from (values (1),(1),(2),(2),(3),(3),(4)) v(x) group by (x); server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request. The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed. Looking at the core dump of this, it seems the following commit may be relevant: commit bf6c614a2f2c58312b3be34a47e7fb7362e07bcb Author: Andres Freund <and...@anarazel.de> Date: Thu Feb 15 21:55:31 2018 -0800 Do execGrouping.c via expression eval machinery, take two.
