Yeah, for me it also recurses till the exception is hit, and then processes that successfully. This is effectively identical to a case in the standard regression tests, which also intentionally recurses till stack overflow. Since we have FreeBSD machines in the buildfarm, it is reasonably safe to conclude that this isn't a generic FreeBSD bug. I suspect the OP has used some unusual configure/build option or linked in some nonstandard code that is causing the available stack space to change unexpectedly. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
