The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 4522 Logged by: Zou Yong Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.3.4 Operating system: Linux 2.6.24 Description: autovacuum working send SIGUSR1 to the wrong pid Details:
I was running postgres on a Linux with busybox. The autovacuum feature is turned on. I noticed that the autovacuum worker sent SIGUSR1 to pid 1 which is the init process and caused the system halt. I did some debugging and found that the root cause is the constant AutoVacNumSignals is not defined correctly. It should be (AutoVacRebalance + 1). -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
