I'm sorry, but after reading the desciption of "bugs" again I realised that according to the list desciption "bugs" is the wrong one und "hackers" the right; so, after debugging my code two days I'm now sure that there is something wrong with Postgres. Normally such Problems are in my Application ;-)
Actually "bugs" is the best place to post bug reports if you think they might be in Postgres and not your app.
If there is no answer like "Ah, it really seems that there is a bug, thanks for the pointer, I'll look for it" I every time guess that the issue depends on a mistake by myself or it is forgotten ... ;-)
OK -- I guess I could have been more clear myself. Anyway I've been working on this on-and-off for a day now. I understand the root cause, but am still trying to figure out what the "right" solution is. It may take another day or so due to other things I have going on (like my job ;-)).
