Thread: Initdb segfaults during "initializing pg_authid"

Initdb segfaults during "initializing pg_authid"

Hello folks,
Initdb seems to barf on me during the pg_authid bit.  Below are the specifics.  
Please ask if you need anything else.  The build is CVS -HEAD.

Initdb output:
pgsql@arch-~:bin/initdb 
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "pgsql".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.

Are you sure it's a clean build?  "make distclean" and trying again is
often the first thing to try when seeing unexpected problems with a CVS
pull.

If that doesn't help, please try it with --enable-debug --enable-cassert
so we can get more info.
        regards, tom lane

Looks like the distclean may have done it.  I thought I had already, but who 
knows.
Thanks.-Wade
