I think also there was some thought that we should intentionally leave the shmem segment around for debugging purposes. In any case, I believe the behavior complained of here is specific to --single mode, which is surely not a production scenario, thus even less reason to be concerned about it. (If a postmaster child panics, the postmaster will still shut down normally and thus release the shmem segment.) 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
