Description: server crashes when trying to catch exception in
function
Details:

I have a function named test()

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test()
RETURNS integer AS
$BODY$
DECLARE
r INTEGER;
y INTEGER;
x INTEGER;
BEGIN
BEGIN
select into r 1;
y := r / 0;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
NULL;
END;
RETURN y;
END;
$BODY$
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE;

select * from test() causes a server crash

when I change

select into r 1; to r:=1;

all works fine.

there can be a

select into r id FROM some_table LIMIT 1;

or

WHEN division_by_zero THEN

and the server srashes too.

Chris.
