Server crash when using dblink_build_sql_* after alter table

Hi

I have the following issue:

I have a development database that is altered a lot and a set of functions
that make use of dblink_build_sql_*.
The problem is that after I update a table whenever I use a function that
makes use of dblink_build_sql the server crashes.

The ALTER TABLE sequences usually add columns and do not drop any.
This does not happen on every table, just now and then.

This is what I get when running dblink_build_sql_update on a table
(channelstable). I must mention that all id's exist in the table... except for
id=2 that does not exist and dblink reports it as inexistent.

I must say that this happens on more than one table.
All tables have a single field primary key.
The alter table sequence does not affect the primary key.

Any ideas?...

Thanks in advance.

Command log follows:

radu database # cat softswitch_interface.sql | grep
dblink_build_sql_update | grep 'ChannelsTable';
    q := q || dblink_build_sql_update('ChannelsTable', '1', 1,

  q := q || dblink_build_sql_update('ChannelsTable', '1', 1,
ARRAY[i.pkey::TEXT], ARRAY[i.pkey::TEXT]);

        This probably means the server terminated abnormally

The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed.

This is a bug, but you have not provided sufficient information to let
someone else reproduce it.  If you're unclear on what a complete bug
report requires, see

Sorry about that. I wrote the mail in a hurry.

OS: Linux
Postgres Versions: 8.4.2 -- 8.4.4

Kernels
Linux vr 2.6.32-22-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 3 22:02:19 UTC 2010 i686
GNU/Linux
PostgreSQL 8.4.4

Linux topex_server 2.6.31-gentoo-r2 #1 SMP Tue Oct 13 15:48:58 EEST 2009 i686
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5504 @ 2.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
PostgreSQL 8.4.4

I attached the server log (for the crash case) and a test case with logs.
For that test case this is the error I get, no server crash.

ERROR:  invalid memory alloc request size 4294967293

The scenario is this:
Create a table, drop a column, any column then add a varchar column and an int
column. Then use dblink_build_sql_update.

I am yet to identify the crash scenario...

I hope this helps...

Yeah, it looks like dblink is simply wrong about how to count the
columns in a case with dropped columns.  Thanks for the report, will
fix.

FYI, I've committed patches to deal with this and some related issues.
