FYI, I was able to exercise the bug by changing RELSEG_SIZE to 2 within
buffile.c and then running this script in the regression database:
set work_mem = '64kB';
begin;
declare c scroll cursor for select * from tenk1 a join tenk1 b using(two);
fetch 1 from c;
fetch 100 from c;
fetch backward 10 from c;
fetch 100 from c;
fetch backward 10 from c;
fetch 100 from c;
fetch backward 100 from c;
commit;
It doesn't crash with the fix applied. Thanks for spotting it.
