OK, I have a new theory. postmaster.c processes the -b
(binary-upgrade) flag by setting a C variable:
case 'b': /* Undocumented flag used for binary upgrades */ IsBinaryUpgrade =
true; break;
I am now wondering if this variable is not being passed down to the
sessions during Win32's EXEC_BACKEND. Looking at the other postmaster
settings, these set GUC variables, which I assume are passed down. Can
someone confirm this? How should this be fixed?
FYI, the binary-upgrade set() functions will not operate unless the -b
option is enabled, which explains the failure the reporter is seeing.
