Hello,

I am attempting to install PostgreSQL 7.3.1 for the first time on a Redhat
7.1 Linux box.

I'm getting a core dump when I do the following.  Any suggestions for things
I should be checking, or is this a bug?

Thanks,
Jason

[postgres@spiraltribe postgresql-7.3.1]$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D
/usr/local/pgsql/data/
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale en_US.
This locale setting will prevent the use of indexes for pattern matching
operations.  If that is a concern, rerun initdb with the collation order set
to "C". For more information see the Administrator's Guide.
