Package: postgresql-client-8.4
Version: 8.4.7-0squeeze2
Severity: normal
Hi,
pgsql crashes in interactive mode when you execute a multiline query
which takes up more than the height of the screen, then press the
up-arrow key to edit that query.
I can reliably reproduce this problem on two amd64 machines (assuming
bash as the shell for $LINES):
1. Run this to generate a long query.
python -c 'import sys; count, = map (int, sys.argv[1:]); print "SELECT " +
",\n".join (map (str, range (1, count + 1))) + ";"' "$(expr "$LINES" + 1)"
2. Run pgsql.
3. Copy and paste the long, generated query into pgsql. This query
should be longer in lines than the height of your screen, so the
initial "SELECT 1," should not be visible.
4. Exit your pager (if your pager came up to show the long query
result).
5. Press up-arrow.
6. Voila! Segmentation fault.
Hope this helps,
