Hi, This simple patch to catalog/pg_type.c fixes a buffer overrun. It was detected by Electric Fence and triggered by statements like: SELECT * into table t from pg_database; The system would crash on a memmove call in DataFile() with arguments like this: memmove(0x0, 0x0, 0); Here's the patch. 320a321 > NameData name; 390c391,392 < values[i++] = PointerGetDatum(typeName); /* 1 */ --- > namestrcpy(&name,typeName); > values[i++] = NameGetDatum(&name); /* 1 */ After applying the patch the problem goes away. I'll try to make all the buffer overruns detected by Electric Fence during the regression test on my Linux system go away -:). Debugging is a nice way to learn about a system isn't it? With regards from Maurice.
