Thread: Crash on initdb in MSVC++

HEAD built with msvc++ crashes on initdb. I'd appreciate any pointers as
to where to start looking...

Unhandled exception at 0x0046b9c7 in postgres.exe: 0xC0000005: Access
violation reading location 0x000006b3.

Backtrace:
>    postgres.exe!_bt_start_vacuum(RelationData * rel=0x0000067f)

181 + 0xd bytes    C



The crash is on the line:vac->relid = rel->rd_lockInfo.lockRelId;

in _bt_start_vacuum().

From what I can tell, the entire rel pointer is invalid at this point,
because the debugger says "Expression cannot be evaluated" for all
fields in it, including simple ints.

Nevermind this whole mail. My .bki files weren't updated. (installed new
version of them in the wrong directory. Oops.) Updating  that to correct
files for HEAD mdae it pass again.
