RE: (bounced, help me!) [PORTS] Port Bug Report: calling notify in pl/pgsql proc causes core dump

Bruce,

My email (below) to the pgsql-ports list with my workaround patch was
bounced, but you were cc'ed also. Could you forward the appropriate info
to whomever would appreciate it most?

Thanks,
David

Actually, I made a 'workaround' fix to this problem (after posting this
bug report). I'll append the patch. I don't pretend to understand the
internals of this system, but my guess is that a simple statement like
'notify xyz' went through the planner, got an spi_plan, but the 'plan
list' was empty. So here's my patch, which may be fixing a symptom, not
the cause, YMMV:
