Ernst-Georg Schmid: FORTRAN 90 like vector operations in PostgreSQL revisited

I tried to compare the arraymath extension suggested in a comment with my plpgsql solution from the last post.

PostgreSQL was 9.5rc1 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

make
make install
create extension arraymath;

No problems so far, but...

select array(select random() from generate_series(1,1000000)) @+ array(select random() from generate_series(1,1000000));

NOTICE:  Hello from ArrayMath 1.0
********** Error **********

Server crash!

Whereas the plpgsql code does the addition of two one million element vectors in 1.2 seconds.

Interestingly this works:

SELECT ARRAY[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8] @+ ARRAY[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8];

While this crashes:

SELECT ARRAY[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9] @+ ARRAY[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];

So arraymath seems to fail with vectors larger than 8 elements. Probably only on 9.5, but I couldn't get it to work properly.
