System Configuration
---------------------
  Architecture (example: Intel Pentium)         : Intel Pentium

Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
------------------------------------------------
'bool' array return type 'char'

Please describe a way to repeat the problem.   Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

$ psql template1
Welcome to the POSTGRESQL interactive sql monitor:
  Please read the file COPYRIGHT for copyright terms of POSTGRESQL

   type \? for help on slash commands
   type \q to quit
   type \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
 You are currently connected to the database: template1

template1=> create table a (wdays bool[]);
CREATE
template1=> insert into a values ('{1,1,1,1,1,1,1}');
INSERT 27977 1
template1=> select * from a where
a.wdays[int4(date_part('dow','now'::datetime))];
pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly.
        This probably means the backend terminated abnormally before or
while processing the request.
We have lost the connection to the backend, so further processing is
impossible.  Terminating.
$

If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
use:
a.wdays[int4(date_part('dow','now'::datetime))='t'

In current tree, it worked.  You may want to try 6.5.3:

test=> create table a (wdays bool[]);
CREATE
test=> insert into a values ('{1,1,1,1,1,1,1}');
INSERT 18889 1
test=>  select * from a where
tetime))];test-> a.wdays[int4(date_part('dow','now'::datetime))];
      wdays
-----------------
 {t,t,t,t,t,t,t}
(1 row)

test=>
