I don't know that those are the only bugs, but this reference is certainly the proximate cause of the crash I'm seeing. Will push a fix in a little bit. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
