Test of 8.2beta1 fails

List,

First of all, I am not sure this list is the right one to write to.

I am trying out the postgresql 8.2.beta1 with the jdbc driver contained in '
postgresql-8.2dev-503.jdbc3.jar' downloaded from 'jdbc.postgresql.org'.

The database is accessed through iBatis version 1.3.1 --> jakarta DBCP 1.2.1

I have dumped a production database from a debian sarge-PG7.4 instance and
restored onto a test PG-8.1.3. This works nicely.

The same dump restored to a test PG-8.2.beta1 works not quite as well, some
queries succeed and some fail.

The exception given on a failed query is:

This is what happens at server side

Another query gives this error on the client side:

where the server once again restarts.

Any hint/idea of what is going is much appreciated.
