PostgreSQL version: 9.1 beta 1

Description:        select current_date crashes postgres
Details:

select current_time
or select current_date

results in postgres crash.

OK. I created the 'crashdumps' directory, gave the 'postgres' account full control and re-tested. The resulting dump can be debugged in Visual Studio Express 2008 (not 2010 - they removed that feature - but you can use windbg) - and shows:

It looks like the issue is that an invalid pointer is passed for `base'. `base' is used to calculate `position' which is then dereferenced - and splat!

I suspect - but haven't verified - that the reason `base' is shown as 0xffffffff rather than NULL is that the optimizer has done away with the 'position' variable, instead using the 'base' variable passed as a parameter. There isn't any 'position' variable in the local stack.

The static global `timezonetktbl' in src\backend\utils\adt\datetime.c is NULL. The calling function passes 'timezonetktbl' as the 'base' argument of datebsearch(...). So I'd say that 0xffffffff is just an artifact of the optimizer's work, and `base' was really passed as NULL.

So - for some reason the time zone tables aren't getting loaded, or InstallTimeZoneAbbrevs(...) isn't being called to activate them.

Is anyone aware of any changes between 9.0 and 9.1beta that messed with time zone handling and loading?
