The behavior I'm seeing in jaguar's reports is difficult to characterize as anything except a seriously broken machine (see the followup message with further details). It may be that there is some not-obviously-broken-hardware case that we need to deal with, but I have not seen evidence of it yet. Can you reproduce your test case with CVS HEAD and send the log messages? regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
