Thanks for the feedback.
Is the problem specific to 8.4.2 or to the Windows platform (or both)?
Regards
Thomas

Yes, we have received a few reports about this and are working on a fix.

Bug reference: 5348
Logged by: Thomas Kellerer
Email address: tho...@kellerer.name
PostgreSQL version: 8.4.2
Operating system: Windows XP
Description: Postgres crashes with index on xpath_string
Details:
With the contrib module xml2 (pgxml.sql) installed, run the following
script:
create table t1 (id integer, xml_data xml);
insert into t1 (id, xml_data)
values
(1, '<attributes><attribute name="attr_1">Some
Value</attribute></attributes>');
create index idx_xpath on t1 ( xpath_string
('/attributes/attribu...@name="attr_1"]/text()', xml_data::text));
This will crash the backend.
The entry in the logfile is:

xpath_value ('/attributes/attribu...@name="attr_1"]/text()',

When the following index is created, things seem to work (at least the
backend is not crashing)
create index idx_xpath on t1 ( xpath_string
('/attributes/attribu...@name="attr_1"]', xml_data::text))
(note the missing text() in the xpath)
