Server crashed with "TRAP: unrecognized TOAST vartag("1", File: "heaptuple.c", Line: 1490)"

Hi,

I am getting server crash with below test case, logfile message and core
dump details in the mail.

postgres=# CREATE TABLE part_tbl (a INT, b TEXT, c INT) PARTITION BY
RANGE(a);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# CREATE TABLE part_tbl_p PARTITION OF part_tbl FOR VALUES FROM
(minvalue) TO (maxvalue);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# CREATE INDEX partidx_abc_idx ON part_tbl (a, b, c);
CREATE INDEX
postgres=# INSERT INTO part_tbl (a, b, c) SELECT i,i,i FROM
generate_series(1,50)i;
INSERT 0 50
postgres=# ANALYZE part_tbl;
ANALYZE
postgres=# ALTER TABLE part_tbl ALTER COLUMN c TYPE numeric;
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.
