Bug reference: 1897
Logged by: Wade Hampton
Email address: wade.hampton@nsc1.net
PostgreSQL version: 8.0.3-1
Operating system: Fedora Core 4
Description: dmalloc memory error on PQconnectdb
Details:
I have a multithreaded application using Postgresql and am testing for
memory leaks. I compiled and linked with dmallocth. My PGconnect() is now
causing a dmalloc abort. The error appears to be a calloc of 0 elements of
40 bytes in libkrb5, called from libpq.
The connection is to: hostaddr = 127.0.0.1 dbname = mydb
The same code with dmalloc works fine with Fedora Core 2.0, Postgresql
7.4.7-3.
There was a report of a similar problem in earlier versions:
