Running postgresql 8.2.0 on Debian testing, Linux kernel 2.6.12, Dual
Xeon 2.80GHz motherboard,
gcc 4.0.3.
If I run a statement like this:
select * from [table] limit null;
it crashes the server.
Under 8.1.3, limit NULL was synonymous with limit ALL. Here, the
server terminates and restarts with a fatal error message:
