Thanks.  Is the PostgreSQL server running on Windows here?

Works fine here on Linux:

Type "help" for help.

gsmith=# SELECT 'INFINITY'::TIMESTAMP;

Richard, anything interesting in the server log after your crash?

Too bad, that's just a generic "accessed memory you shouldn't have"
exception.  Not much help narrowing down the source.  That could be a
driver or hardware issue, but since you say it's repeatable that seems
less likely.

At this point, fork in the road.  If someone else can reproduce this on
another Windows system, they may be able to run with it.  But if you can
spare some time to dig further, the instructions at
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Getting_a_stack_trace_of_a_running_PostgreSQL_backend_on_Windows
go over how to trace into where it's actually failing at yourself.  If
you run PostgreSQL on Windows, that's good defensive practice to fit in
on a day it's not an emergency to do so.  (The same is true of any
platform, it just takes more time to setup on Windows)

That's interesting...it's going crazy here:

    3565 /* datebsearch()
    3566  * Binary search -- from Knuth (6.2.1) Algorithm B.  Special
case like this
    3567  * is WAY faster than the generic bsearch().
    3568  */
    3569 static const datetkn *
    3570 datebsearch(const char *key, const datetkn *base, int nel)
    3571 {
    3572     const datetkn *last = base + nel - 1,
    3573                *position;
    3574     int         result;
    3575
    3576     while (last >= base)
    3577     {
    3578         position = base + ((last - base) >> 1);
    3579         result = key[0] - position->token[0];

So something about that is getting really confused when searching back
to negative infinity, but seemingly only on Windows.

Thanks for the great detective work help, I'll bounce this over to
pgsql-hackers where more people will see it.

Can either/both of you seeing this crash do the following:

show timezone;
select * from pg_timezone_abbrevs;

And post the result?  Tom Lane mentioned there's a similar problem
already being chased around, and that data will help figure out how your

Show timezone gives US/Eastern

Thanks for the report, and if you could check this again on 9.1 Beta 2
after it's released to confirm the fix holds, that would be helpful.
