At least I think it's a segfault. This function returns a vstring: CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION wtf( ) RETURNS text LANGUAGE plperl IMMUTABLE STRICT AS $X$ return $^V; $X$;
Here's what happens when I call it: try=# select wtf(); 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. !> So I think that it doesn't know what to do with vstrings. They should probably never be returned (they're mostly deprecated), but if they are, they should be cast to text, I think.
