I can't seem to reproduce this on a Ubuntu box on 9.1 or 9.2, nor can I seem to reproduce this with less than ~8 million rows on a windows one. I can reliably reproduce this with that many rows and the database dump is only ~120mb so if anyone is interested I can host it for them, otherwise I guess its not that serious or interesting.
Out of interest is there a debug build I can install or any steps I can take to investigate this? I'm just pretty curious as to why this would be occurring. ~Tom On Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 9:44 PM, tom Tom <t...@tomforb.es> wrote: > Ok, I will try.
