I think we've seen something like this before in connection with readline/libedit follies. Does the crash go away if you invoke psql with "-n" option? If so, exactly which version of readline or libedit are you using? FWIW, I do not see this on a fully up-to-date 10.4.8 G4 laptop. I see $ ls -l /usr/lib/libedit* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 112404 Sep 29 20:59 /usr/lib/libedit.2.dylib lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 15 Apr 26 2006 /usr/lib/libedit.dylib -> libedit.2.dylib $ so it seems that Apple did update libedit not too long ago ... regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
