I have had an odd core dump in a bit of code that runs every hour since March
2001, and for some reason just dumped core...
PostgreSQL 7.2 on i386-unknown-netbsdelf1.5ZC, compiled by GCC 2.95.3

This is from within a C program (odd that main() and yyparse() don't appear
above...) and running the query by hand just gives:
max | max
------+------
8100 | 8100
(1 row)
The code at pqResultAlloc() is:
/* Otherwise, start a new block. */
block = (PGresult_data *) malloc(PGRESULT_DATA_BLOCKSIZE);
if (!block)
return NULL;
block->next = res->curBlock;
