Thread: RC1 core dumps in initdb on Solaris 2.6

RC1 core dumps in initdb on Solaris 2.6

From
Pete Forman
Date:
The regression test is failing early on, during initdb.  The core file
indicates that there is a SIGBUS.  Hopefully the bugs fixed as a
result of the "More bogus alignment assumptions" thread will sort
things out.  Here are initdb.log and the stack trace.  If needs be I
can recompile with -g but unless I hear otherwise I'll wait for RC2.

Sure looks like this is the same issue reported (and fixed) before.
Would you try it with current CVS or last night's snapshot tarball?

Yes, it is fixed in the snapshot of 2001-03-27, as is the earlier bug
in pg_backup_null.c.  All tests passed.



I've registered the result via the web form though the report is not
accurate.  Can somebody update the Remarks or Version field to
indicate that I was using a snapshot rather than RC1 OOTB.

Further to that request, please ignore/delete the existing Remarks.

I have looked at 12 Solaris systems running 2.5, 2.5.1, 2.6, 7, and 8.
It looks as if my machine only has had a non-standard symlink made
from libld.so.2 to libld.so in /usr/lib.  This will be removed.  As
far as I can tell, libld.so.2 is used in a special way by ld rather
than being a normal shared library.
