Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.0 Beta Operating system: Windows 2000 Pro, sp 4, up to date Description: 100's of postgres.exe tasks created Details: I know I could do more to make this reproducable but I'm don't have a lot of time and I figure it's better to at least report it. Maybe I'm doing something wrong that's making this happen. If so I'm sorry for wasting your time but I'd appreciate knowing what it is. This is 8.0.0rc1 installed on win2kpro from downloaded binaries. If there's a build number, I don't know where to find it. I browsed through the bugs forum but didn't see anything like this. I'm using postgresql with a complex java web application that creates many prepared statements which are used once and not reused. After running this application for a while, I can see a great many instances of postgres.exe running in the task manager. I've seen as many as a couple of hundred. The more I run my application, the more instances appear. Most of them have done no I/O. When I shut down the postgres service, these tasks do not go away. I cannot kill these tasks using the task manager because I get an access denied error. I've even had problems shutting down windows because each of these task pops up error windows. Prior to downloading 8.0.0rc1, I was using 7.4.1 in cygwin and never had this kind of problem. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
