I'm developing application with Borland C++ Builder as a client and PostgreSQL as a server. Sometime (Almost every other time) the application failed to get loaded and I get an error message in psqlodbc_xxxxxxxxxxxx.log file:
[...]
conn=58919036, query='CREATE TABLE course_dl_tmp10183 (brig_id int2, well varchar(10), pad varchar(7), date_dl date, course_id int2, what varchar(4), course_what varchar(60), course_value time, PRIMARY KEY (course_id));'
NOTICE from backend during send_query: 'NOTICE: CREATE TABLE/PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index 'course_dl_tmp10183_pkey' for table 'course_dl_tmp10183''
ERROR from backend during send_query: 'FATAL 1: my bits moved right off the end of the world! Recreate index pg_attribute_relid_attnum_index.'
conn=58919036, query='COMMIT'
Could anybody tell me what does this error message "my bits moved right off the end of the world!" mean.
Client software:
MS Windows 98
Borland C++ Builder 5.01
BDE 5.1.1
ODBC 3.510.3711.0
PsqlODBC 6.50.0000
Server software
Linux (Dedian woody, kernel 2.2.17, libc6 2.2)
PostgreSQL 7.0.3
Thank you, Mikhail.

It's an internal error in the btree index routines.
I would *love* to see an example that reproduces this error from a
standing start (ie, newly created database). I suspect there's a
corner-case bug somewhere in btree, but it's never been possible
to find it without a test case...
