Recovery failed on a backup with " lock AccessShareLock on object 16477/244169/0 is already held" - Mailing list pgsql-bugs

Hi,

I hit an issue running PG 8.2.3 with the continuous archiving feature
where I was unable to recover from the backup.  I was wondering if
this may be related to bug #3245?

These are the steps that occurred before I saw this problem:

1.  Prepare transaction.
2.  A base backup of the database was taken to a warm standby system.
3.  Commit prepared.  The commit prepared never finished as it hit a PANIC:

2008-06-17 23:53:53.206 Local time zone must be set--see zic manual
page PANIC:  failed to re-find shared lock object
2008-06-17 23:53:53.207 Local time zone must be set--see zic manual
page STATEMENT:  commit prepared '148969' ;


I believe this panic is probably bug #3245 based on the description of
that bug - http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2007-04/msg00075.php

At this point I attempted to do a recovery using the continuous
archive backup on the warm standby system.  Instead of recovering
correctly it encountered this FATAL error where a AccessSharedLock was
already held.

Is this FATAL error seen on recovery a different bug or is it just a
direct result of bug #3245?

Unfortunately I do not have a way to deterministically reproduce this
problem but I have seen it 3 times so far.

thanks,
