using a plpgsql-function and strange behaviour

Hello,

today I tried the following on 7.0.2:

elwood=# CREATE FUNCTION add_one (int4) RETURNS int4 AS '
elwood'# BEGIN
elwood'# RETURN $1 + 1;
elwood'# END;
elwood'# ' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
CREATE
elwood=# select add_one(1);

The result of this was:
pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly.
This probably means the backend terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed.
!# \q

The Backend actually died and restarted. Has someone an idea for this, or am
I using the function the wrong way?

Konstantin
