I suspect the problem is lack of a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS someplace, which probably got added sometime after 8.2.4 (I checked 8.2 branch tip). I'd suggest updating to 8.2.something-recent. If you still see the problem in latest 8.2.x then we need to look closer to figure out why the difference in results. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
