Would seem to me to be an interaction between Postgres and readline. Not
sure exactly what, but some information would be helpful for those that
might know:
1) What version of Solaris?
2) How was Postgres installed and from what source?
3) What version of readline is installed?
4) Are you using a psql client that is the same version as the server?

Almost certainly, this is not psql's fault, but rather a bug in the
readline or libedit library it's using for command history.
If you're using libedit, I can't say that I'm astonished, as we've
seen a depressingly large number of bugs reported in various versions
of libedit.
In any case, try to get a newer version of that library; or if you've
linked psql to libedit, consider rebuilding against libreadline.

PS: this was cross-posted inappropriately. I've trimmed the cc
list to just pgsql-general.

Mr. Rao:
1) Please do not cross-post to multiple mailing lists. In the future,
this may cause you to be banned from the PostgreSQL mailing lists.
2) PostgreSQL 9.1.3 is 11 patch releases behind and contains multiple
published security holes.
3) Sounds like there's a bug in the readline or libedit libraries for
your platform. How did you build PostgreSQL?
