Re: 8.0B2 psql \e - Mailing list pgsql-bugs

This looks like the same bug as Michael's
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2004-08/msg00103.php

trim_directory needs to check for a NULL pointer in path.

    if ( path == NULL || path[0] == '\0' )

I'll verify I have the version I think I have...

(gdb) bt
