It is a possible bug that should be investigated. A look at a stack trace from the crashing process would be the first place to start. In order to do that, please set "ulimit -c unlimited" and rerun the query under psql. That should produce a core file. Then run gdb psql core and inside gdb, execute "bt". Please send that output our way. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
