It may be missing a try catch, but is the input data valid ?

So, I guess my question is, is there any way I can get my function to
fail gracefully when I hit this exception and stop my connection
terminating and the process crashing?
I remember, that this was an issue in the past, but I thought it had be
resolved long time ago by returning an error and not crashing the
process, so I don't even remember when.
We will look into this. Thanks for reporting.
The short answer is this is a bug and the way to stop the server from crashing is to fix the bug. The best way to do this is to find a case where you can repeat the issue and file a test case, then we can debug the issues and put in a fix for it.

The reason for the crash is because when something bad and unexpected happens the database can not be sure that all the other processes are in a stable state so it kills all the database processes so that the database will get recovered into a known stable state. While this may be annoying it is better than continuing with possible damaged and inconsistent data that will impact future results or potential destroy more data or return bad data.

If you have a test case that fails we would really like to get it so we can address this problem.

Thanks,
 -Steve
