Ah, okay, so that is a new bug in 9.2.

Something like that. The proposed patch depends on there not being a conflicting environment variable, which seems rather fragile to me. Can't we test the same condition that postgres.exe itself would test? 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
