Hi friends,
After upgrading to DBD::Pg 3.10.0, my async app now dies on "Segmentation fault" or "double free or corruption". The exact place it dies is inconsistent, but capturing various backtraces reveals it's always in
PQclear
. So it seems clear we're attempting to free a result more than once. Here's a sample backtrace:I bisected to b312efb (made prior to 3.9.0).
I took a stab at fixing the problem and came to this solution. This does alleviate the segfaults for me, though I'd need someone more familiar with this code to verify it's the right solution.
Although it crashes consistently in my complex app, I haven't yet succeeded in even reproducing the crash in a test file. :-(
