Hi,

I have tried to use "plperlu" to write server functions to encapsulate
some
common functionality such as "copy an entity"(and all its associated
records).

I'm getting a database server crash calling the function from psql or
a perl client. Where the crash happens is kind of random and happens
on different sql
statements.

Manipulating (i.e. inserting) one table seems to be fine but as soon
as I try
to manipulate other related tables in the same function it crashes the
database server.

I was wondering if anyone has had problems (database server crashing)
using
plperlu, where the server function manipulates multipe associated
tables?

I really appreciate your help.

Here is some more detail:
