Hi,
After having moved all of the data to a new database initializaed with
es_MX as locale, the postmaster is dying and restarting every time a
program tries to read information on this tables:
pg_catalog.pg_class
pg_catalog.pg_namespace
it is important to note that if I do a simple select * from table with
either one of them server do not crash at all, the problem seems to
happen only when joining.
Another important point is that my problems started after I ran vacuumdb
-z on the database, or at least that's what I think.
Have tried this with psql, dbvisualizer and ODBC driver in windows.
One of the crashing queries is:
SELECT
n.nspname,c.relname,a.attname,a.atttypid,a.attnotnull,a.atttypmod,a.attlen,a.attnum,def.adsrc,dsc.description FROM
pg_catalog.pg_namespacen JOIN pg_catalog.pg_class c ON (c.relnamespace = n.oid) JOIN pg_catalog.pg_attribute a ON
(a.attrelid=c.oid) LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_attrdef def ON (a.attrelid=def.adrelid AND a.attnum = def.adnum) LEFT JOIN
pg_catalog.pg_descriptiondsc ON (c.oid=dsc.objoid AND a.attnum = dsc.objsubid) LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_class dc ON
(dc.oid=dsc.classoidAND dc.relname='pg_class') LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_namespace dn ON (dc.relnamespace=dn.oid AND
dn.nspname='pg_catalog') WHERE a.attnum > 0 AND NOT a.attisdropped AND n.nspname LIKE 'public' AND c.relname LIKE
'catalogo_empaque' AND a.attname LIKE '%' ORDER BY nspname,relname,attname
The Log Output after that query is:

Plataform is Solaris 8, running on Sparc compiled with 32bit only, no
core is dumped by the crashing processes.
Any new suggestions ?, I will try locale 'C' when moving data to new
database.
Regards.
