Re: BUG #5669: server process was terminated by exception 0xC0000005

The schema below crashes pretty reliably for me.  There are three
objects: an immutable function, a table called a and a gin index on
table a using the immutable function.  To reproduce the crash, do
enough inserts into table a to kick off the auto-vacuum process; the
insert statement below with the generate_series should do this.  I
tested this on Windows Vista using PG 9.0  and also on Linux (RHES4)
using 8.4.4 (both packaged by EnterpriseDB) and it crashed both
servers.

Thanks

create or replace function get_fts_config_name() returns regconfig as $$
   select setting::regconfig from pg_settings
      where name =3D 'default_text_search_config';
$$ language sql immutable;

CREATE TABLE a
(
  id serial primary key,
  my_text varchar(128) not null
);
create index ix_a_my_text on a using
gin(to_tsvector(get_fts_config_name(), my_text));

insert into a (my_text) select 'Test' from generate_series(1,10000);
