Hrm, yeah. I've updated my system and I can't reproduce this. As best as I can guess, in the last month I updated gcc and the code that gcc produced didn't quite interact with libc (from prior version of gcc) correctly. ::shrug:: Not really sure, but, it's not really that important since only random() is failing. -sc -- Sean Chittenden ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html
