Thread: BUG #5899: Memory corruption when running psql
The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 5899 Logged by: Ross Barrett Email address: ross_barrett@rapid7.com PostgreSQL version: 9.0.3 Operating system: Ubuntu 9.10 Description: Memory corruption when running psql Details: Attempting to run psql complains that termcap db is not present (bug 5807). Applying the work around of placing an /etc/termcap file from a Red Hat system allowed psql to run 1x. Subsequent runs always yield a memory error: psql (9.0.3) Type "help" for help. *** glibc detected *** deploy/nsc/nxpgsql/pgsql/bin/psql: malloc(): memory corruption: 0x0000000002301b40 *** =======

I determined that this issue was caused by something (a large error message relating to failed delete caused by an integrity issue) which I erroneously pasted into the psql terminal. I was able to get around the problem by deleting my .pg_history file. Perhaps it is more accurate that this is a problem with termcap? -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/BUG-5899-Memory-corruption-when-running-psql-tp3398967p3408178.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - bugs mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

More likely libedit, which FWICT seems to be riddled with bugs. :-( --=20 Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
I am also having this problem. I used the One-Click installer provided by EnterpriseDB to install PostgreSQL 9.0.3. Is there a fix for the bug? -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/BUG-5899-Memory-corruption-when-running-psql-tp3398967p3412773.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - bugs mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
