Which brings me back to my original question: "Why do we have an abort function?" As you said (I was originally thinking this, but admittedly, I didn't bring this up), we can't do much. About the only thing we can do is exit. We *might* be able to make a log entry somewhere, but that depends if we need memory to do the printf or whatnot. And, if palloc returns junk - NULL or non-NULL, we're bound to segfault at some point - which takes care of our process anyway. Error-checking is something that we pointedly avoid doing in APR. I'm not still sure what the abort function gets us. -- justin
