Thread: grant still broken
Well, I've rebuilt postgres again, using a fresh cvs snapshot, and grant is still broken. Infact, it gets worse. Once you try to use the grant statement, then any other connection that was active at that time - even on different databases, will die with the same message, hinting it may be something in shared memory that's breaking.

I see the same behavior here, so it's not just you :)

It seems the others have no problems with BSD.

I am still running 6.2.0. Anything I need to watch out for when running the latest? -James

Me too. Shouldn't be platform-specific, but maybe it will be clear once the
solution is found. There was a reported problem with "group by" sorting which I
could reproduce but which other platforms could not; it went away after a month
or so. Maybe we'll get lucky on this one too :/

Just watch out for better performance :) Oh, there is a problem with varchar() at the moment.

I have a death in the family, so I'm not going to be able to sort it all out before this weekend. I get segfaults and authentication problems when trying to run perl scripts. Also, I'm not sure I have a handle on the new acl stuff. `Anyways', hopefully I can get everything worked out and compile a debug version to poke through with gdb this weekend. -James
