I had a vague feeling that this looked familiar, and it occurred to me to scan the buildfarm database for occurrences of that error message. Quite a few hours later, I have these results: sysname | snapshot | count -----------+---------------------+------- okapi | 2012-05-10 06:15:02 | 138 okapi | 2012-05-20 00:15:02 | 174 dromedary | 2014-03-28 00:13:52 | 4 dromedary | 2014-05-07 06:23:09 | 2 dromedary | 2016-03-08 23:27:02 | 2 So yeah, we've seen it before, but it sure looks like a system-specific glitch. dromedary is a pretty old machine (2006 Mac mini), so I would not be surprised if it dropped a bit now and then. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-committers mailing list (pgsql-committers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-committers
