Confirmed here. I configured Postgresql to handle 200 connections and used a perl test script to open multiple connections to the database. The postmaster crashes consistently when the 182nd connection is opened. select version(); "PostgreSQL 8.1.4 on i686-pc-mingw32, compiled by GCC gcc.exe (GCC) 3.4.2 (mingw-special)" Regards, Shelby Cain ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
