After adding a second row to the test table, I am able to reproduce
the above (including the core dump after second try) on an intel/linux
box, but *not* on HPUX.
I now suspect a memory-stomp kind of problem, like someone writing one
too many bytes in a struct. HPUX tends to mask these in situations
where intel will not, because it uses MAXALIGN 8 rather than 4.
I have also just traced through _SPI_cursor_operation() in spi.c,
watched PortalRunFetch return 2, and then watched _SPI_checktuples read
zero from _SPI_current->processed. How the heck could that happen?
Compiler bug, or am I just crazy?
