I isolated this test: Argh! I put a GetTransactionSnapshot() call into exec_eval_simple_expr, but I forgot CommandCounterIncrement(). Wish I could say it was a copy- and-paste mistake, but it was pure stupidity... regards, tom lane --------- Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge postgresql 8.0.0_rc2 2. 3. Actual Results: Read the emails. Expected Results: A database wich don't destroy data ;-) This bug is entered for information, cause this package is still hard masked. Be careful with your data :-) I think, RC3 will be released in the next few days. RC2 is dangerous.
rc2 has been removed in portage tree :)
