Tom Lane ed69cf5d23 Avoid crashing if relcache flush occurs while trying to load data into an
index's support-function cache (in index_getprocinfo).  Since none of that
data can change for an index that's in active use, it seems sufficient to
treat all open indexes the same way we were treating "nailed" system indexes
--- that is, just re-read the pg_class row and leave the rest of the relcache
entry strictly alone.  The pg_class re-read might not be strictly necessary
either, but since the reltablespace and relfilenode can change in normal
operation it seems safest to do it.  (We don't support changing any of the
other info about an index at all, at the moment.)

Back-patch as far as 8.0.  It might be possible to adapt the patch to 7.4,
but it would take more work than I care to expend for such a low-probability
problem.  7.3 is out of luck for sure.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

The JDBC, ODBC, C++, Python, and Tcl interfaces have been moved to the
PostgreSQL Projects Web Site at http://gborg.postgresql.org for separate
maintenance.  A Perl DBI/DBD driver is available from CPAN.

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/.  For more information look at our web
site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
