2023-02-12 10:32:40.739 MSK|||63e89615.11a2c9|DETAIL: Failed process was
running: SELECT ''::interval;
This defect was introduced by the commit e39f9904.
Before that commit the check
if (IntervalStyle == INTSTYLE_SQL_STANDARD && *field[0] == '-')
was guarded by
if (fmask == 0)
return DTERR_BAD_FORMAT;
but now field[0] is accessed unconditionally (even when nf == 0) for the
SQL_STANDARD style.
