Thread: Re: Something's not (de)compressing right
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2000-07/msg00483.php I'm having this same problem with postgresql 7.3.4. Easy to reproduce by running an 'INSERT' query. Here is some of the debugging info if I break near the beginning of the pglz_decompress function: (gdb) p dend $1 = (unsigned char *) 0xc47f0602 <Address 0xc47f0602 out of bounds> (gdb) p dp $2 = (unsigned char *) 0xb605153c "" (gdb) p *source $3 = {varsize = 1316614350, rawsize = 2328} (gdb) up #1 0x0807c0b0 in heap_tuple_untoast_attr (attr=0xb6051534) at tuptoaster.c:151 151 pglz_decompress((PGLZ_Header *) attr, VARATT_DATA(result)); (gdb) p *attr $4 = {va_header = 1316614350, va_content = {va_compressed = { va_rawsize = 2328, va_data = ""}, va_external = {va_rawsize= 2328, va_extsize = 786432, va_valueid = 1048579, va_toastrelid = 1316614344}, va_data = "\030"}} Ideas? Any more information I can provide? Looks like the bad value is coming in through 'dend', but I don't understand VARATT_SIZE well enough to know where the bad value is coming from.

You're right. However, I saw the exact same symptoms, with a very similar stack trace. > > Easy to reproduce by running an 'INSERT' query. > > Let's see the test case then ... A 'REINDEX' made the symptoms go away. Nice for me, unfortunate for fixing postgresql. :\ I do have another bug related to vacuuming tables that contain binary large objects, inside a UTF-8 encoded database. If that's not a known issue, I'll work up a reproduction case for that. -- Elliot http://www.barbiecollectibles.com/shop/product.aspx?sku=B3449 One ring to rule the malls, a website to supply them.
