Hi, this query makes postmaster (beta4) die with signal 11:
(echo "CREATE TABLE footest("; for i in `seq 0 66000`; do echo "col$i int NOT NULL,"; done; echo "PRIMARY KEY(col0));") | psql test ERROR: tables can have at most 1600 columns LOG: server process (PID 2140) was terminated by signal 11 LOG: terminating any other active server processes LOG: all server processes terminated; reinitializing Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x4015d43c in mallopt () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (gdb) bt #0 0x4015d43c in mallopt () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6 #1 0x00021680 in ?? () [...] #16 0x00000001 in ?? () #17 0x0821bc9b in AllocSetDelete () Previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?) Furthermore the backend doesn't react on query cancel requests from psql during execution of the query.
