BUG #3301: explain crashes server on simple (?) query - Mailing list pgsql-bugs

The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      3301
Logged by:          Leszek Trenkner
Email address:      olaf@post.pl
PostgreSQL version: 8.3devel
Operating system:   Linux (Ubuntu Fiesty 7.04)
Description:        explain crashes server on simple (?) query
Details:

When I try to EXPLAIN or EXPLAIN analyze following query, server reports
crash and restarts (output from psql session follows):
------------------------------------------------
crash=# explain select t.id, foo.name from t join
(select ta.id, ta.name from ta
union select tb.id, tb.name from tb
) foo on foo.id = any (t.ids);
server closed the connection unexpectedly
        This probably means the server terminated abnormally
        before or while processing the request.
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed.
!>
------------------------------------------------
But, if I change UNION to UNION ALL  it works as expected:
------------------------------------------------
crash=# explain select t.id, foo.name from t join
(select ta.id, ta.name from ta
union all select tb.id, tb.name from tb
) foo on foo.id = any (t.ids);
                          QUERY PLAN
-------------------------------------------------------
 Nested Loop  (cost=1.05..4.09 rows=1 width=10)
   Join Filter: (foo.id = ANY (t.ids))
   ->  Append  (cost=0.00..2.06 rows=6 width=10)
         ->  Seq Scan on ta  (cost=0.00..1.03 rows=3 width=10)
         ->  Seq Scan on tb  (cost=0.00..1.03 rows=3 width=10)
   ->  Materialize  (cost=1.05..1.10 rows=5 width=47)
         ->  Seq Scan on t  (cost=0.00..1.05 rows=5 width=47)
(7 rows)
-------------------------------------------------------
This all on today's (2007-05-24) CSV 8.3 development version. The same bug
was in SVN version build from CSV on 2007-04-27. The server's log says:
-----------------------------------------

terminated by signal 11: Segmentation fault
