Found this a couple of weeks back and just re-tested against head:

CREATE TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY with an empty thesaurus file will crasch the backend.

To reproduce:
$ echo "" > $(pg_config --sharedir)/tsearch_data/thesaurus_empty.ths

Then use this thesaurus to create a text search dictionary:
CREATE TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY thesaurus_astro (
    TEMPLATE = thesaurus,
    DictFile = thesaurus_empty,
    Dictionary = english_stem
);

It doesn't matter if the file is compleatly empty or just have comments. The result is the same.
Add a word:
$ echo "foo: bar" >> $(pg_config --sharedir)/tsearch_data/thesaurus_empty.ths

Creating the dictionary will now work.

Sorry  I have no patch to attach.

roppert
