BUG #2120: Crash when doing UTF8<->ISO_8859_8 encoding conversion - Mailing list pgsql-bugs

The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      2120
Logged by:          Sagi Bashari
Email address:      sagi@adamnet.co.il
PostgreSQL version: 8.1.1
Operating system:   Debian Sarge
Description:        Crash when doing UTF8<->ISO_8859_8 encoding conversion
Details:

Postgresql crashes when a client with ISO_8859_8 encoding tries to select
data from a utf8 database.

I have compiled postgresql 8.1.1 from scratch with the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/home/sagi/temp/pgtest --enable-debug
make
make install
mkdir /home/sagi/temp/pgtest/data
/home/sagi/temp/pgtest/bin/initdb -D /home/sagi/temp/pgtest/data/
/home/sagi/temp/pgtest/bin/postmaster -D /home/sagi/temp/pgtest/data

Created a utf8 database:
./createdb test -E utf8

And ran 'SET client_encoding = 'ISO_8859_8'; SELECT 'שלום';' inside
`psql test`.

That's ISO_8859_8 hebrew text inside the SELECT. Here's a file containing
the query (incase the mail breaks it):
http://future.adamnet.co.il/~sagi/temp/enc.sql

Psql returned the following message:
server closed the connection unexpectedly
        This probably means the server terminated abnormally
        before or while processing the request.

The database log:
LOG:  server process (PID 1290) was terminated by signal 11

Backtrace:
Core was generated by `postgres: sagi test [local] idle
              '.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
