Tom Lane e969f1ae2b In the Snowball dictionary, don't try to stem excessively-long words.
If the input word exceeds 1000 bytes, don't pass it to the stemmer;
just return it as-is after case folding.  Such an input is surely
not a word in any human language, so whatever the stemmer might
do to it would be pretty dubious in the first place.  Adding this
restriction protects us against a known recursion-to-stack-overflow
problem in the Turkish stemmer, and it seems like good insurance
against any other safety or performance issues that may exist in
the Snowball stemmers.  (I note, for example, that they contain no
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS calls, so we really don't want them running
for a long time.)  The threshold of 1000 bytes is arbitrary.

An alternative definition could have been to treat such words as
stopwords, but that seems like a bigger break from the old behavior.

Per report from Egor Chindyaskin and Alexander Lakhin.
Thanks to Olly Betts for the recommendation to fix it this way.

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/.
