palloc elogs if it can't allocate the space; it's unlike malloc in that respect. I believe it also has a guard to reject requests > 1Gb, so I think it's reasonably proof against internal arithmetic overflows. This problem is strictly repeat's error, not palloc's. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
