Обсуждение: tsearch2 headline function fails to parse integer arguments

SELECT headline('some text to search',to_tsquery('text'),'StartSel=<b>,
StopSel=</b>, ShortWord=3')

On 8.0beta1 through 8.0rc3 this query fails with
ERROR: invalid input syntax for integer: "3"

The same is reported when using any of the argument in the option string
that take integers (MinWords and MaxWords)
e.g.

SELECT headline('some text to search',to_tsquery('text'),'StartSel=<b>,
StopSel=</b>, MaxWords=35, MinWords=15, ShortWord=3');

ERROR:  invalid input syntax for integer: "35"

Using the bundled tsearch2 from PostgreSQL 7.4.3 the headline function works
as expected, and the above examples return without error.

There also seems to be a problem with the bug submission form on the
website - the wwwmaster.postgresql.org server that handles the POST data
doesn't respond - it appears to be down?

Thanks for the report.  Patch applied.

Not my turf, but maybe someone on pgsql-www will know what's up.

It seems to have been a temporary or intermittent problem.  I just went
to the bug submission form at:

http://www.postgresql.org/support/submitbug

...and submitted a bug successfully.  The "Thank you" page took a few
seconds to load than I was expecting (about 10 seconds in total), but
didn't time out.

If we get more reports of this, indicating its a continuing problem,
then we'll look into it.  Otherwise, hopefully the failure was just a
once-off.

Thanks for letting us know guys.

Regards and best wishes,
