[HACKERS] Segmentation Fault during pg_restore using '--use-list' and '--jobs' - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Hi all,

I'm facing a 'segmentation fault' error using '--use-list' and '--jobs' options after update to 9.5.8.

We generate a list ignoring some 'TABLE DATA' toc for a selective restore.

See the test case below:

cat <<EOF | psql
\c postgres
drop database if exists test_restore;
create database test_restore;
\c test_restore

create table t1 (id serial primary key);
create table t2 (id serial primary key);
create table t3 (id serial primary key);
create table t4 (id serial primary key);
create table t5 (id serial primary key);

insert into t1 select * from generate_series(1,100);
insert into t2 select * from generate_series(1,100);
insert into t3 select * from generate_series(1,100);
insert into t4 select * from generate_series(1,100);
insert into t5 select * from generate_series(1,100);
EOF

-- generate complete dump file
pg_dump -Fc -v -f /tmp/test_restore.dump test_restore

-- generate a parcial list for selective restore ignoring some "TABLE DATA" toc
pg_restore --list /tmp/test_restore.dump | grep -v -E 'TABLE DATA public t(2|4)' > /tmp/test_restore.dump.list

-- rebuild database
cat <<EOF | psql
\c postgres
drop database if exists test_restore;
create database test_restore;
\c test_restore
EOF

-- try restore
pg_restore --jobs=2 --use-list=/tmp/test_restore.dump.list --format=custom --dbname=test_restore --verbose /tmp/test_restore.dump


After execute pg_restore we got the following back trace (against master branch):
