Confirmed on Solaris 9 with PostgreSQL 8.0.0beta3 (CVS). Here's a stack trace: #0 0xff1344e4 in strlen () from /usr/lib/libc.so.1 #1 0xff186bec in _doprnt () from /usr/lib/libc.so.1 #2 0xff18861c in fprintf () from /usr/lib/libc.so.1 #3 0x00010a08 in main (argc=135304, argv=0x10cd8) at testlibpq.c:44 Here's line 44: fprintf(stderr, "Connection to database '%s' failed.\n", PQdb(conn)); PQdb() is returning NULL, which causes fprintf() to dump core. On FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE, fprintf() handles NULL: Connection to database '(null)' failed. invalid connection option "hostname" -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
