PostgreSQL version: 8.2.1
Operating system:   Fedora 3
Description:        server crash
Details:

I have compiled postgres 8.2.1 with gcc 4.1. and when executed this function
it crashes the server.

i also fetched the code from postgres repository (8.3devel) and tested this
code but it still crashing server.


Steps to produce
----------------------

CREATE  OR REPLACE FUNCTION func2() RETURNS int as $$
BEGIN
   RAISE EXCEPTION 'ex -----';
   EXCEPTION
   WHEN OTHERS THEN
   RAISE INFO 'sql error msg %',sqlerrm;
   DECLARE
   v_msg VARCHAR(200) := sqlerrm;
   BEGIN
       RAISE INFO 'sql error msg %',sqlerrm;
     ENd;
RETURN 0;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;

select func2();


Output
---------
INFO:  sql error msg ex -----
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: Failed.
