Thread: pg_regress fails at "point" test
Volker Hetzer (volker.hetzer@fujitsu-siemens.com) reports a bug with a severity of 3 The lower the number the more severe it is. Short Description pg_regress fails at "point" test Long Description gcc2.95; hppa2.0-hp-hpux10.20, postgresql 7.1.2 make check checks the first group all right (tests check out ok and a process "postgres:" shows up in the process list. When "make check" displays "parallel group (18 tests): point lseg" the "postgres:" process disappears from the process list and the test does not complete. Or, rather, not until I lose patience (15min). Incidentally the shell process that make started keeps running and eats up all the CPU time. Greetings!

Known bug in HPUX's Bourne shell --- evidently it can't cope with so many children in parallel. It works if you do gmake SHELL=/bin/ksh check or if you run the non-parallel "installcheck". See FAQ_HPUX. If I still had a support contract in force with HP, I'd file a bug report... regards, tom lane
