SELECT * FROM testgeom WHERE ST_Intersects() and the back-end crashes

[zhuodao]

I try to run some special sql as follow on PostgreSQL 9.4.10 and PostGis 2.2.2 installed from source code, and the back-end crashes:

 select the_geom from testgeom where ST_Intersects(the_geom,ST_GeomFromText( 'POLYGON((80.4748535 32.2128011,80.4858398 32.2128011,80.4858398 32.2035053,80.4748535 32.2035053,80.4748535 32.2128011))',4326));

The table testgeom contain a column of geometry TYPE like this:

gds=# \d testgeom;
  Column  |   Type   | Modifiers
----------+----------+-----------
	 the_geom | geometry |

And it has three records.

I get the backtrace:

#0  0x00007f081fca48a5 in raise () from /lib64/libc.so.6
#1  0x00007f081fca6085 in abort () from /lib64/libc.so.6

I found rel→rows not a number and the divisor is zero in the gserialized_estimate.c:

cell_size[d] = (max[d] - min[d]) / nd_stats->size[d]; 

The nd_stats→size comes from the column stanumbersN table pg_statistic like this:

stanumbers1 | {2,0,0,0,0,80.4356,32.1458,0,0,80.5024,32.3317,0,0,7,7,7,7,1,7,7}

And I found function compute_gserialized_stats_mode in the gserialized_estimate.c:1425

histo_cells_target = Min(histo_cells_target, (int)(total_rows/5));

When total_rows is greater than 0 and less than 5, histo_cells_target will be zero and it will cause the error. But I wonder why this histo_cells_target can be zero. Is it a bug ?

And can I fix it as follow?

histo_cells_target = Min(histo_cells_target, Max(1, (int)(total_rows/5)));

By the way, run the same sql on the PostGis 2.1.7 and PostgreSQL 9.4.10 return a right result.

• If you use 2.2.5 does the issue persist? ​http://postgis.net/source/
• Can you share the contents if your table? pg_dump -t testgeom

Thanks

• Yes. I use 2.2.5 and the issue persist.
• Run pg_dump -t testgeom, return result as follow:

  COPY testgeom (the_geom) FROM stdin;
