Hey, I've got a problem where my backend occasionally dumps core, and
closes connections to all my clients. This is for my photo album project (
http://bleu.west.spy.net/~dustin/photo/ if anyone's interested). What I'm
doing is MIME encoding all of my images and storing them in normal text fields.
I do this for various reasons, it works fine except for the core dumps. My
query looks something like this:

select * from image_store where id=
(select id from image_map where name='89452648824743.jpg')
order by line

And the stack trace looks like this (OBTW, it's a seg fault):

Anyone know what's going on? I can easily generate another core if
anyone wants any more info.
