I am having some problems w/ LO in postgres 6.5.snapshot (date marked
5/27). Here is the problem:
I am doing a program that will search through ~250M of text in LO
format. The search function seems to be running out of ram as I get a
'NOTICE: ShmemAlloc: out of memory' error after the program runs for a
bit. From running 'free', I can see that I am not using any memory in
my swap space yet, so it does not really seem to be running out of
memory. Postmaster does constantly grow even though I am not
generating any information that should make it grow at all. When I
have commented out the lo_open and lo_close function calls, everything
is ok so I am guessing that there is some kind of a leak in the lo_open
and lo_close functions if not in the back end in postmaster. Come take
a look at the code if you please:
