Bug reference: 1158
Logged by: Werner Bohl
Email address: wbohl@deepdata.com
PostgreSQL version: 7.4
Operating system: RH Linux 9, kernel 2.4.20-31
Description: tsearch2 trigger crashes machine
Details:
Using tsearch2's trigger to index a fairly short (varchar(200)) field with
names of business crashes Linux.
Table used has 39 fields, one of which is the business name. Bulk-inserting
thousands of records (>50,000) crashes Linux. Error appeared consistently
on 4 import trials, first time @ 130,000 records, second @ 160,000 records,
third @ 64,000 records.
Table has a pkey and also is indexed 'using gist(FIELD_NAME)' where
FIELD_NAME is the tsvector field.
Table resides alone in his own db & schema (public).
Linux is severly affected and the machine needs a RESET to be able to boot.
(shutdown nor init 6 work!!)
