beta2: process crash: server process (PID 4872) exited with exit code -1073741819

unfortunately, my problems with 8.2 on win32 become more and more severe. w=
hen i wanted to test magnus compiled patch for the xlog transaction rename =
lockup, i run into more problems (with the original beta2 files):

it seems that processes regurarly crash after a number of transactions, whe=
re that number is strongly related to the amount of data updated. for examp=
le i have one table that consists of 8 integers, 3 bools, 2 timestamps, 1 v=
archar(150) for columns, has 1 foreign key and contains roughly 6600 rows. =
the table is vacuumed, analyzed, reindexed. when updating any of the intege=
r fields, the backend process crashes after 320 to 450 updates, no matter i=
t the updates are in 1 transaction for all or 1 update per transaction).

there are no log entries (beside the ones from the startup sequence) prior =
to the process error...=20

i first logged the problem as tsearch2 problem (http://archives.postgresql.=
org/pgsql-bugs/2006-10/msg00123.php). but it seems it is a more general pro=
blem.

if anyone wants (db-)access for debuging or checking stuff, please let me k=
now.=20

best regards,
thomas
