Hi Nicola, Without more information I can't know if I found the same bug you experienced, but I think it's likely. I have committed a fix for that, which will be available in the next release (mid-February). https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commit;h=74618e77b43cfce670b4725d5b9a300a2afd12d1
