Postgres dies when using an intarray operator

Hi all,

When using intarray operator in a query, postgres dies and restart
itself when executing the following query:

select r1.bet_sentence & r2.bet_sentence
from related r1,related r2
where r1.bet_sentence && r2.bet_sentence

the log file contains the following:

LOG: server process (PID 14283) was terminated by signal 11
LOG: terminating any other active server processes
LOG: all server processes terminated; reinitializing
LOG: database system was interrupted at 2006-04-01 15:07:04 CEST
LOG: checkpoint record is at 1/E9178B1C
This is the only information I can find

'related' has the following definition:

Column | Type | Modifiers
--------------+------------------------+-----------
id | integer | not null
id_line | integer |
id_linegroup | integer |
id_word_1 | integer |
id_word_2 | integer |
rtype | character varying(100) |
bet_sentence | integer[] |
there are about 100 000 records in this table.

The crash only happends when I create the gist index on bet_sentence:

create index ind_related_7 on related using gist ( bet_sentence gist__int_ops);

Using unbuntu 5.1 ,postgres version 8.1.3,compiled from source and intarray installed

Can someone explain this crash?

Thanks

Jeroen

Here's a complete test case:

CREATE TABLE foo (a integer[]);

INSERT INTO foo (a)
SELECT array[random() * 10, random() * 10, random() * 10]
FROM generate_series(1, 24);

CREATE INDEX foo_a_idx ON foo USING gist (a gist__int_ops);

SET enable_seqscan TO off;
SELECT f1.a & f2.a FROM foo f1, foo f2 WHERE f1.a && f2.a;

This crashes for me in 8.1.3 on FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE and Solaris 9.
An assert-enabled 8.1.3 logs the following:

TRAP: BadArgument("!(((header->context) != ((void *)0) && (((((Node*)((header->context)))->type) == T_AllocSetContext))))", File: "mcxt.c", Line: 612)

I started the postmaster with -d 5 but I didn't get something like
above, only a signal 11 message.
How can I get more information from a crash?

The above error would be logged only if the server was built with
assertions enabled. See the documentation for the --enable-cassert
configure option:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/install-procedure.html

If the server was built with debugging symbols (--enable-debug)
then you could obtain useful information from a core dump by using
a debugger like gdb to display a stack trace. To see examples
search the archives for words like "gdb" and "stack trace"

This seems to bear out the concern expressed at _int_gist.c line 44:

/* XXX are we sure it's safe to scribble on the query object here? */

Fixed in cvs for 7.4-8.2 releases.
