Search::Xapian: QueryParserError and core dump on specific search string

[Adam Sjøgren]

If create a query for:

something other* this AND more

where FLAG_BOOLEAN and FLAG_WILDCARD is turned on, I get an QueryParserError and a core dump.

I will try to attach a minimal script that exhibits the behaviour on my Ubuntu amd64 machine (xapian+Search::Xapian 1.0.4-2 backported from Debian unstable), which outputs:

'something other* this more' [ok] 'other* this AND more' [ok] 'something other this AND more' [ok] 'something other* this more' [ok] 'something other* this AND more' terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Xapian::QueryParserError' Aborted (core dumped)

Minimal test-script that coredumps

The XS wrapper is trying to catch "const char*" which QueryParser::operator() stopped throwing in Xapian 1.0.0. It now throws QueryParserError, so I've fixed the exception handler in the XS wrapper and added a regression test.

Sweet; thanks!
