Yep, there is only one installation of PostgreSQL on the machine. My
application is multithreaded, and I have been very careful to open a
new connection for each thread. Could it have anything to do with
semaphores and shared memory in Solaris? My /etc/system contains this:
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=0x2000000
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=256
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=256
set semsys:seminfo_semmap=256
set semsys:seminfo_semmni=256
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=256
set semsys:seminfo_semmnu=256
set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=256
set semsys:seminfo_semopm=256
set semsys:seminfo_semume=256
set semsys:seminfo_semusz=256
I have these values to be able to have more connections than default
to PostgreSQL. Maybe they need to be even higher?
What's strange is that the same application and PostgreSQL version
works fine in Linux.
