Is this function actually a PostgreSQL callable function? Or is it just
a general C function along the line of
float pcm_getmiles_s(char*, char*, int)
?
The code would never have worked at all if that were the case (since
text* is not like char*). I suspect some subtler portability issue in
Geoffrey's glue functions. It seems unlikely that moving from PG 7.4.13
to 7.4.16 would in itself have exposed such a problem, but the update in
operating environment from RHEL3 to RHEL4 might've.
This is an interesting point. I might try to see if I can duplicate the
problem on a RH3 box.
We'll take a good hard look at our code to see if we have some sloppy
pointers or string length issues.
