I've set NAMEDATALEN to 64 and 48, and the compile executed successfully, but
when I perform an initdb, I got the following:
truck{oberpwd}385 > initdb -D /home/anubis22/oberpwd/pgsql/data
This database system will be initialized with username "oberpwd".
This user will own all the data files and must also own the server process.
Creating database system directory /home/anubis22/oberpwd/pgsql/data

Creating database XLOG directory /home/anubis22/oberpwd/pgsql/data/pg_xlog
Creating template database in /home/anubis22/oberpwd/pgsql/data/base/template1

Adding template1 database to pg_database
Segmentation Fault
initdb failed.
Removing /home/anubis22/oberpwd/pgsql/data.
Removing temp file /tmp/initdb.25367.
I re-compiled with NAMEDATALEN set back to 32 and it works fine. It seems that
there is code dependent on this length, and it can't be adjusted simply by
changing this macro.
Any ideas?
