postgresql 8.2.0 -- LIMIT NULL crashes server

[Norman Yamada <nyamada(at)millburncorp(dot)com>]

Running postgresql 8.2.0 on Debian testing, Linux kernel 2.6.12, Dual  
Xeon 2.80GHz motherboard,
gcc 4.0.3.

If I run a statement like this:

select * from [table] limit null;

it crashes the server.

Under 8.1.3, limit NULL was synonymous with limit ALL. Here, the  
server terminates and restarts with a fatal error message:
