ok I now see why you (and I) failed to reproduce the problem - it only
causes clusters/databases to crash that were actually generated using the
upthread mentioned script. it does NOT fail using a dump generated by a
database that fails(!).
So the issue must be a bit more complex and somehow relate to some prior
stuff the script does.

Does it still crash if you compile with CFLAGS='-O0 -g' ? Could you
send a backtrace from that?

ok just assembled a new testcase from the querylog of the tool:


http://www.kaltenbrunner.cc/files/rand_gen_crash.sql

this crashes on i386 and results in something like:

ERROR:  invalid memory alloc request size 8589934592

on an AMD64 host for me.

However the error seems to go away after an ANALYZE... so I wonder if this is just another case of "if we missestimated the size of the hashtable we are doomed"
