No, uploading stuff to that webform doesn't work. But at this point we're just conversing on the pgsql-bugs mailing list, so anything you can squeeze into email is fine. Having said that, nobody likes multi-gigabyte emails.

Yeah, we'd need all the moving parts.
Usually people with this kind of problem don't want to expose their data anyway, for privacy and/or legal reasons. So what I'd suggest is trying to create some little script that generates fake data that's close enough to trigger the problem. Then you just need to provide that script and the DDL and function definitions.
