I think the analysis of the cause itself is correct - we can end up calling close(-1), and that will fail *on some versions of the runtime*. It doesn't crash on all. There may also be something else that's broken that's causing it to happen in this case, but that code certainly looks dangerous to me. I'd be inclined to fix it along the way he suggests, even if it's not the root cause of this issue. Any objection to that? Javier - is this happening with the binary win32 build, or do you have your own build? If you have your own, what compiler and runtime are you using? //Magnus -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
