Here's what was printed out after the crash. I was not able to re-create it. Hm, the backtrace says the problem is somewhere inside libreadline, which means it has nothing to do with any SQL-level concepts, but rather with editing your input text. Did you do anything unusual while typing that line of input --- say, recall it from history, or edit it in a way that you don't usually do, or even mistype some control character you don't usually type? Sadly, the visible evidence here doesn't tell us much of anything about what provoked the crash :-( FWIW, there's a pretty good chance that this isn't psql's fault per se, but a libreadline bug. You might check to see if you can get a newer readline version installed. regards, tom lane [Scot Kreienkamp] Nothing unusual that I can think of. I typed it in by hand, the update succeeded, and I was able to recall it and run it again from history with no crash.
