   PostgreSQL Bugs List <pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org> — 2001-05-21T17:41:07Z

   Lukas Ertl (l.ertl@univie.ac.at) reports a bug with a severity of 2
   The lower the number the more severe it is.
   
   Short Description
   psql dumps core when entering invalid backslash command
   
   Long Description
   PostgreSQL v. 7.1.1., running on FreeBSD 4.3, standard installation via the ports collection.
   
   When entering an invalid backslash command in psql (like "\m"), psql dumps core, psql gives error "Invalid command", but then dumps core.
   
   Sample Code
   httplog=# \m
   Invalid command \m. Try \? for help.
   Segmentation fault (core dumped)

   Upgrade to 7.1.2 when it comes out or get the latest from the 7.1 branch
   from CVS.

   Yup, known bug inadvertently introduced in 7.1.1, already fixed for 7.1.2.
   
   (Hey Marc, where is 7.1.2 anyway?)

   We were waiting on some optimizer change, I thought.  I don't remember
   the specifics but I thought it had to do with UNION plans.  Also, there
   was some talk of waiting to get a port added (QNX?).
