If you read the description of that setting, you will notice that it recommends leaving a safety margin of at least one megabyte between the kernel ulimit setting and the max_stack_depth value. You have left a safety margin of zero. A crash is unsurprising. More recent versions of Postgres are able to check whether max_stack_depth has a safe value relative to ulimit -s, but 8.0 just believes whatever you tell it. BTW, are you *really* using 8.0.0? If so please update. The current bugfix release in that series is 8.0.22. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
