As a note, I've had luck finding bootstrap-time bugs by manually feeding the bootstrapping commands into bootstrap mode, with a leftover dir from "initdb --noclean". This has helped a few times that there has been no PANIC but just a FATAL or ERROR, for example. It's easy to attach GDB to such a backend. -- Álvaro Herrera <alvhe...@commandprompt.com> The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.
