SELECT substring(B'1111000000000001' from 4 for -3);
its observed that there's an Error "invalid memory alloc request size

What will actually happen to the Postgresql database.
I am using Postgresql 8.4.3 on Ubuntu 8.04
I can reproduce this with 8.4.*2* on Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit (postgres built
from src) but *not* with 8.4.*3*. Can you double check it is 8.4.3 you
are using? and if so tell us whether you are using 32 or 64 bit Ubuntu!
Cheers
