Howdy,
Environment:
Postgres 8.3.13
Solaris 10
I have a SELECT query that runs no problem standalone but when running
within a perl script it intermittently core dumps. Random, no pattern
to the timing of the core dumps. The perl script processes the rows
from the query, if the rows satisfy a condition then the perl script
adds the rows to another table. When the script works it runs for
about a minute. If the script fails, it runs for about 5 minutes and
core dumps. The core dump is in the perl error handling routines. We
suspect the bug is related to how the perl postgres libraries interact
with postgres.
Trace:
Segmentation Fault - core dumped
