Thread: Postmaster keeps dumping core with signal 11

Postmaster keeps dumping core with signal 11

Sorry for the duplicate posting but I am still having the same problem that
I did several days ago. Postmaster keeps on shutting down with a signal 11.


I installed cygwin using setup 2.340.2.5. In addition to the defaults I
installed cygrunsrv .95-1 and PostgreSQL 7.3.2-1.  I then installed
cygipc-1.13.

I did the following

ipc-daemon&
initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
/usr/bin/postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data

I tried to do the following that I found in a couple of different docs on
the net.
createdb test
psql template1

They both caused "terminated by signal 11 - segmentation fault (core dumped)

I have a Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 using 248 MB of RAM

Does anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong?

Vincent

Just to let you know that this problem disapeared. Tonight I tried starting
postmaster in debug mode. It no longer core dumped so I stopped it and
restarted it in regular mode. I am not able to use psql without a core dump.

I didn't do anything differently than yesterday. Just hope I don't need to
post again, at least not to report a problem.

Just a little more information on my core dump problem After starting up
postmaster again and having it core dump when I started psql, I finally
decided to shutdown another piece of software that runs on my machine
"Freedom Privacy and Security". Once I shut it down, I was able to log into
psql.
