Thread: Crash during elog.c...
My client (same one with the slru.c issue) has had 3 of these in the
past day...
The backtrace:
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

Asserts are on, but for performance reasons the memory checking stuff is
commented out.
The good news is there's been no slru.c asserts...

Um, what's your log_line_prefix setting, and is the next format code
%i by any chance? I've just noticed an utterly brain-dead assumption
somebody stuck into ps_status.c awhile back.

log_line_prefix = '%t|%s|%r|%d|%i|%p'
So yeah, looks like %i is next. I recall seeing something about %i in
the backtrace or something else related to this, but I can't find it
now.

The quickest way to get rid of the crash will be to remove %i, then.
If you don't want to do that, see the patch I committed to CVS.
