I'd just like to second your claims. I have a snapshot from 2004-08-02
and I appended a sequence of SQL commands that causes a crash for me.

Regards,    Jeff Davis

Sequence that causes crash:

test=# begin;
BEGIN
test=# savepoint a;
SAVEPOINT
test=# rollback to b;
server closed the connection unexpectedly       This probably means the server terminated abnormally       before or
whileprocessing the request.
 
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: LOG:  server
process (PID 23751) was terminated by signal 11
LOG:  terminating any other active server processes
LOG:  background writer process (PID 20334) exited with exit code 1
