Crash in GiST index with NULL item on inserting geography Point

[realityexists]

When I run my application against PostGIS r9575 it crashes when inserting a perfectly ordinary geography Point (with a GiST index defined on the column). The point is specified as

ST_GeomFromEWKT('SRID=4326;POINT(-2.7546111 8.0365000)')::geography

and the stack trace is attached.

This happens on 32-bit Linux on a newly created database. PostgreSQL 9.1.3.

Could you please provide a complete script from table creation to crash ?

I can't reproduce with this:

create table test (g geography);
create index gt on test using gist (g);
INSERT INTO test (g) select 'SRID=4326;POINT(-2.7546111 8.0365000)'::geography from generate_series(1,1024);

Can you ?

Just insert a single NULL first and then it crashes, ie.

create table test (g geography);
create index gt on test using gist (g);
INSERT INTO test(g) VALUES (NULL);
INSERT INTO test (g) select 'SRID=4326;POINT(-2.7546111 8.0365000)'::geography from generate_series(1,1024);

confirmed !

I've a patch, before committing I'll need to include regression testing

Fixed in r9577 (calls for RC2)
