;;; From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ;;; Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2002 10:22:14 +0900 (JST) ;;; ;;; ;;; However, that doesn't explain our OS X problem. I added some debug ;;; ;;; printouts, and can now report positively that (a) the fork() call ;;; ;;; returns normally in the parent process, providing an apparently-correct ;;; ;;; child PID value; but (b) the fork never returns in the child. It ;;; ;;; doesn't ever get as far as trying to enable SIGTERM. ;;; & ;;; ;;; Is it possible that something in the child's fork() processing will wait ;;; ;;; around for a response from a service that's already died? Why is fork() ;;; ;;; dependent on any outside service whatever --- isn't that a certain ;;; ;;; recipe for system failures? ;;; ;;; I asked Apple this issue. This is a bug of Mac OS X. The problem is registered ;;; to their bug database for the appropriate eingineers for investigation.
This problem is fixed for Mac OS X 10.2. Kenji Sugita ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
