Tom fixed this upstream, and I just merged with PostgreSQL CVS HEAD
again. The buildfarm crash should now be fixed.

Hi All,
While running test with bind varible getting segmentation fault. ( CVS Head

For testcase, please find the crash.c (C test) and test.java ( JDBC test)
attached with the mail.
Had a quick look at the core dump and found the call stack for the
segmentation fault.
(gdb) bt

Had a look at the previous version and found that because of following
condition added with the new PG merge into exec_bind_message(); we end up
with the segmentation fault.
exec_bind_message{
...
/*
* Set a snapshot if we have parameters to fetch (since the input
* functions might need it) or the query isn't a utility command (and
* hence could require redoing parse analysis and planning).
*/
if (numParams > 0 || analyze_requires_snapshot(psrc->raw_parse_tree))
{
PushActiveSnapshot(GetTransactionSnapshot());
snapshot_set = true;
}
...
}
Condition added with "Fix failure to ensure that a snapshot is available to
datatype input functions" commit. (
http://git.postgresql.org/?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=d5e7e5dd7c81440bb46f52872906633ee2b388c1
)
Not very much sure but for the quick check I just modifiled condition by
added check for raw_parse_tree and test worked file.
Modified condition:
/*
* Set a snapshot if we have parameters to fetch (since the input
* functions might need it) or the query isn't a utility command (and
* hence could require redoing parse analysis and planning).
*/
if (numParams > 0 ||
(psrc->raw_parse_tree &&
analyze_requires_snapshot(psrc->raw_parse_tree)))
{
PushActiveSnapshot(GetTransactionSnapshot());
snapshot_set = true;
}
Another fix would be to add check for parseTree into
analyze_requires_snapshot().
