Tom Lane 701c881f78 Fix contrib/seg to be more wary of long input numbers.
seg stores the number of significant digits in an input number
in a "char" field.  If char is signed, and the input is more than
127 digits long, the count can read out as negative causing
seg_out() to print garbage (or, if you're really unlucky,
even crash).

To fix, clamp the digit count to be not more than FLT_DIG.
(In theory this loses some information about what the original
input was, but it doesn't seem like useful information; it would
not survive dump/restore in any case.)

Also, in case there are stored values of the seg type containing
bad data, add a clamp in seg_out's restore() subroutine.

Per bug #17725 from Robins Tharakan.  It's been like this
forever, so back-patch to all supported branches.

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.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

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.  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
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
