tsearch2 problem rank_cd() (possibly) crashing postgres - Mailing list pgsql-admin

Hi ,

We recently upgraded from PostgreSQL 8.1.5 to PostgreSQL 8.2.0.
looks like rank_cd function is giving problem .

tradein_clients=> CREATE TABLE test (name text , name_vec tsvector);
CREATE TABLE
tradein_clients=> INSERT INTO test (name ,name_vec) values ('hello
world' , to_tsvector('hello world'));
INSERT 0 1
tradein_clients=> SELECT  name from test where name_vec @@
to_tsquery('hello') ;
+-------------+
|    name     |
+-------------+
| hello world |
+-------------+
(1 row)

tradein_clients=> SELECT  name, rank_cd(1,name_vec,
to_tsquery('hello')     ) as rank  from test where name_vec @@
to_tsquery('hello') ;
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: Succeeded.
tradein_clients=>

Analysis of core dump: (not sure though if its the right way of doing it)
