i've got CVS version of PostgreSQL down to 2 regression test failures. i'd
like to get rid of these two tests. however, i'm not experienced enough
to track down these last two bugs. the problem is any query that cause
errors like the ones listed below will cause user traps from the kernel.
---<cut>---
regression=# INSERT INTO TIMESTAMP_TBL VALUES ('invalid');
ERROR: floating point exception! The last floating point operation either
exceeded legal rangesor was a divide by zero
regression=# INSERT INTO TIMESTAMP_TBL VALUES ('Invalid Abstime');
ERROR: floating point exception! The last floating point operation either
exceeded legal ranges or was a divide by zero
regression=# SELECT '' AS three, f1 as abstime, timestamp(f1) AS
timestamp
FROM ABSTIMregression-# E_TBL WHERE NOT isfinite(f1);
ERROR: floating point exception! The last floating point operation either
exceeded legal ranges or was a divide by zero

so it seems that anything that caused a "floating point exception" would
cause:

here are gdb outputs:

can someone help me find out which function from what file is causing
this?
