1. psql dumps core on \d<invalid table> command (7.1.1)

   Arcady Genkin <a.genkin@utoronto.ca> — 2001-05-31T01:08:13Z

   Postgresql v7.1.1
   
   THe system is:
     SunOS eddie 5.8 Generic_108528-07 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise
   
   Compiled with gcc 2.95.2
   
   Compilation configuration:
     env CFLAGS='-O2 -pipe' ./configure --prefix=/opt/pgsql
   
   The following is a script of psql session:
   
     securewww=> \du
     Did not find any relation named "u".
     Segmentation Fault (core dumped)
   
   Don't know if it is of any relevance, but postgres was compiled
   without readline library.
   
   The above bug happens *every* time I attempt to type "\du".  Of
   course, the first time I typed it by mistake, since I really don't
   have a relation named `u'.  The bug also happens when entering an
   invalid backslash command, e.g. "\m".
   
   This bug *could* be a duplicate of bug #333
   http://www.ca.postgresql.org/bugs/bugs.php?4~333
   with one exception: I have postgresql 7.1 running on FreeBSD
   4.3-STABLE, installed from the ports tree, and in that installation
   psql does *NOT* exhibit the above manfunction.
   
   If the core file would be of any value, please let me know, and I'll
   send it.
   
   Many thanks,
