Hi,

I think I've found a pretty reliable way to crash my pgsql backend.

To reproduce (at least on 6.5.1.) enter:

select * from pg_attribute where (case when 1=1 then
(attname='testname') else (0=1) end);

I chose the pg_attribute table because it exists on every system :),
while the query does not look to make too much sense I orignally
wanted to implement different WHERE conditions based on another
condition (here just 1=1 :-)

Regards,
