Problem in S_LOCK? - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

I'm experiencing a strange problem when playing with the
bench scripts. (No postmaster running).

Platform SPARC Linux 2.0.36, latest CVS.

If I do:-

[postgres@sparclinux bench]$ rm -rf /usr/local/pgsql/data/
[postgres@sparclinux bench]$ initdb

We are initializing the database system with username postgres (uid=900).
This user will own all the files and must also own the server process.

backend> create database bench

The command just hangs.

If I run under a debugger I can see the following backtrace:-

(gdb) cont
