beta2: process crash: server process (PID 4872) exited with exit code -1073741819

unfortunately, my problems with 8.2 on win32 become more and more severe. when i wanted to test magnus compiled patch for the xlog transaction rename lockup, i run into more problems (with the original beta2 files):

it seems that processes regurarly crash after a number of transactions, where that number is strongly related to the amount of data updated. for example i have one table that consists of 8 integers, 3 bools, 2 timestamps, 1 varchar(150) for columns, has 1 foreign key and contains roughly 6600 rows. the table is vacuumed, analyzed, reindexed. when updating any of the integer fields, the backend process crashes after 320 to 450 updates, no matter it the updates are in 1 transaction for all or 1 update per transaction).

there are no log entries (beside the ones from the startup sequence) prior to the process error...

i first logged the problem as tsearch2 problem (http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2006-10/msg00123.php). but it seems it is a more general problem.

if anyone wants (db-)access for debuging or checking stuff, please let me know.

best regards,
thomas
