[GENERAL] Segmentation fault in backend/access/heap/pruneheap.c: heap_page_prune_opt() calling PageIsPrunable () with NULL page on FreeBSD / PowerPC

fffde6f "/usr/local/pgsql/data" i = 64 __func__ = "PostmasterMain" #27 0x019ce288 in main (argc=3, argv=0x7fffdda8) at main.c:188 No locals. (gdb) This is during a Bacula (http://www.bacula.org) backup run, by the way. Should I try adding a null-pointer check in PageIsPrunable () or might this be symptomatic of wider issues? Could this be an indication of database corruption, or definitely a run-time thing? Any pointers (including "you idiot, there's a password in your backtrace! :-)) appreciated! -- Nick Withers email: n...@nickwithers.com Web: http://www.nickwithers.com Mobile: +61 414 397 446 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
