Tom Lane 717c116f1d Fix infinite loop when splitting inner tuples in SPGiST text indexes.
Previously, the code used a node label of zero both for strings that
contain no bytes beyond the inner tuple's prefix, and for cases where an
"allTheSame" inner tuple has to be split to allow a string with a different
next byte to be inserted into it.  Failing to distinguish these cases meant
that if a string ending with the current prefix needed to be inserted into
an allTheSame tuple, we got into an infinite loop, because after splitting
the tuple we'd descend into the child allTheSame tuple and then find we
need to split again.

To fix, instead use -1 and -2 as the node labels for these two cases.
This requires widening the node label type from "char" to int2, but
fortunately SPGiST stores all pass-by-value node label types in their
Datum representation, which means that this change is transparently upward
compatible so far as the on-disk representation goes.  We continue to
recognize zero as a dummy node label for reading purposes, but will not
attempt to push new index entries down into such a label, so that the loop
won't occur even when dealing with an existing index.

Per report from Teodor Sigaev.  Back-patch to 9.2 where the faulty
code was introduced.

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:

	http://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
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
