hmm - I don't suppose the RHEL builds already include your patch against this
issue? If so I guess it would be useful to know :)
I've run through the steps you outlined to reproduce the fault on a new box
(after having reproduced it successfully on test servers), and it does not show
the problem:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] data]# !psql
psql test -U XXXXX
Welcome to psql 8.3.0, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
Type: \copyright for distribution terms
\h for help with SQL commands
\? for help with psql commands
\g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
\q to quit
test=# create table foo as select null::int as x from generate_series(1,2000) x;
SELECT
test=# delete from foo;
DELETE 2000
test=# select count(*) from foo;
count
-------
0
(1 row)
test=# vacuum full foo;
VACUUM
test=#
test=# set debug_assertions to on;
ERROR: assertion checking is not supported by this build
test=#
The RPMs installed from are these:
postgresql-8.3.0-1PGDG.rhel4
postgresql-libs-8.3.0-1PGDG.rhel4
postgresql-server-8.3.0-1PGDG.rhel4
Thanks

I believe they aren't, but you could check by seeing what pg_config
reports as the configure options; or even more directly by seeing if
it will let you "SET debug_assertions TO on".
