BUG #5631: psql dumps core during command editing
The following bug has been logged online:
Bug reference: 5631
Logged by: David Kensiski
Email address: David@Schoolloop.com
PostgreSQL version: 8.4
Operating system: Solaris 10
Description: psql dumps core during command editing
Details:
The psql binary (64-bit from binary install) dumps core when I attempt to
edit the input line after a few characters are entered:
tombu@i2:~$ psql homerdb
psql (8.4.4)
Type "help" for help.
homerdb=# abcde(Ctrl-A)Segmentation Fault (core dumped)
Note that "abcd(Ctrl-A)" doesn't result in a Seg Fault, though
"abcde(Ctrl-A)" does.
Here's the tail end of a truss of the psql process:
read(0, " d", 1) = 1
write(1, " d", 1) = 1
read(0, " e", 1) = 1
write(1, " e", 1) = 1
read(0, "01", 1) = 1
Incurred fault #6, FLTBOUNDS %pc = 0xFFFFFD7FFEF087C2
siginfo: SIGSEGV SEGV_MAPERR addr=0xFFFFFFFFFEF2D500
Received signal #11, SIGSEGV [default]
siginfo: SIGSEGV SEGV_MAPERR addr=0xFFFFFFFFFEF2D500
Alas, I'd give you a backtrace, but I'm running the 64-bit binary and only
have a 32-bit gdb.

This most likely indicates a problem with the libreadline or libedit
library you're using.

I though of that, but it's linked into the binary. Maybe this is a
problem with the Sun build and not the code? How do I get in touch
with the build maintainer?

Is there a README in the build install somewhere?
