Re: Syntax error in plpgsql crashes backend

More fun with the backend: I've found that I can incite a crash by
reloading a long, but syntactically correct function twice. Is this a
problem with my installation? --Joe

cal=> \i test
CREATE
cal=> select foo();
foo
-----
1
(1 row)

cal=> \i test
CREATE
cal=> select foo();
pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly.
This probably means the backend terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed.
