Last time I tried to run crash-me against PG (7.0.something),
Postgres was just fine but the perl process running the crash-me
script expanded past the kernel's per-process memory limit and
crashed. Their scheme for detecting the maximum allowable query
length is evidently not very bulletproof.
I had to reduce the script's $max_buffer_size setting to "+1000000"
to get it to run to completion.
In short, it's crash-me that's crashing, not Postgres.
Pretty funny...
