no, this one seems to be fine now.
i have no idea what went wrong.
the code cored at some very "unlikely" place.
Are you saying that it *did* dump core, or that it *didn't*? It's
possible that your coredumpsize resource limit prevented a core
dump from happening at all. If you're playing with the development
code than it would be a good idea to set that limit so that you do
get core dumps. Configuring with --enable-debug and --enable-cassert
would also be useful, if you aren't doing so already.
it cored; my core-size settings are ok ...
somehow rebooting helped ... - this was very strange.
fortunately it works nicely now ...
...but unfortunate for finding out what was happening :-(
absolutely. however, it is a bit hard to find a bug which cannot be
reproduced ...
to me it seems as if something else was doing some sort of crap on this box.
Had you stopped and restarted the postmaster before the reboot?
yes - I even did a make distclean and a recompile ...
That is, was the reboot really necessary to "fix" the problem?
I rebooted for some other reasons ...
Had you run "make install" while the postmaster was still running?
I haven't tested whether that could cause a problem, but I wonder
if that's possible.
To be honest; I don't have the slightest idea; I have never seen this
before and I have been able to reproduce that.
I don't have the slightest idea what happened. This seems like higher
power ...
Best regards,
