Re: [GENERAL] again... - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

I'm still getting a lot of these entries in my eventlog whenever I have a reasonably large amount of logging:

Event Type:    Error
Event Source:    PostgreSQL
Event Category:    None
Event ID:    0
Date:        10/22/2008
Time:        9:36:28 AM
User:        N/A
Computer:    ----------
Description:
could not write to log file: Bad file descriptor

production server 8.3.3 (tried with 8.3.4 - same thing), win 2003 server.  I'd send this to psql-bugs, but I can't figure out how to reproduce it.. and
apparently noone else has seen this?   Or is noone else running postgres on win2003??? (survey says??)

The timing of each appears to be when log is rolled over (size limited to 10MB) and postgres attempts to write a log entry at the same time:

Any ideas? help? How to proceed???
Cheers

My log settings from postgresql.conf:

# - Where to Log -
log_destination = 'stderr'        # Valid values are combinations of
 # This is used when logging to stderr:
logging_collector = on        # Enable capturing of stderr and csvlog

# These are only used if logging_collector is on:
#log_directory = 'pg_log'        # directory where log files are written,
                    # can be absolute or relative to PGDATA
#log_filename = 'postgresql-%Y-%m-%d_%H%M%S.log'    # log file name pattern,
                    # can include strftime() escapes
#log_truncate_on_rotation = off        # If on, an existing log file of the
                    # same name as the new log file will be
                    # truncated rather than appended to.
                    # But such truncation only occurs on
                    # time-driven rotation, not on restarts
                    # or size-driven rotation.  Default is
                    # off, meaning append to existing files
