The lower the number the more severe it is.
Short Description
Trigger causes database to crash
Long Description
I have a trigger that when in use on a table causes the postgresql database backend to crash with a segmentation fault.
The database works fine without the trigger and only crashes when it is switched on.
This happerns durring an update but if the query is run by itself the update works (with the trigger on)
I suspect it has somthing to do with recent queries run by that particular client.
The trigger is applied for insert, delete and update accross multiple tables.
The bug is repeatable so if anyone wants more information please request.
Many thanks
Peter Childs
