Hello, I have a smallish postgres database that segfaults everytime when I try to access a certain row in a certain column.
xxx=# select file_id from dbfiles offset 632531 limit 1; server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request. The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed. file_id is a varchar(40). The database is a selfcompiled 8.2.6 on a x86_64 linux 2.6 machine that was running well for about 8 months before it started exhibiting the problem a couple days ago. I tried upgrading to 8.2.7 but the problem is still occuring. I have recompiled the postgres server without -O2 and with -g and have captured a coredump. Here's a bt and the first section of a bt full. If you need more information, please don't hesistate to contact me. Core was generated by `postgres: postgres xxx [local] SELECT '.
