Strange. Maybe I haven't fully explored the problem then. I would be
more then happy to supply a core file if you would like to analyze it. I
also guess that I should have been more complete in my bug report. I am
doing this on a RedHat 6.2 (Fully updated, Intel architecture) machine and
I have seen this behavior in the past several versions of PostgreSQL, but
just have now gotten around to doing something about it. As far as how I
compile it, I usually use the roll rpms from the srpms that you create Tom?
I think I will go ahead and try it out on some other platforms later on
today ...
