more problems with the money type - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

while playing with the binary transport of the money type we found
another bug.  The following code segfaults the server on 8.3cvs:

select '3'::money * 2;

this was an accidental discovery by us but is the second serious bug
we found with the money type without looking very hard...probably
stemming from the bump to 64 bit in jan 07 (8.2 does not have this
behavior).

aside: since the money type was deprecated, why was it bumped to 64 bits?
