Also, do you have the buffer id of the broken buffer? I wonder if it's not just any buffer but always the same same buffer even if it's a different block in that buffer. e.g. maybe it's always the first buffer because something is overwriting past the end of the BufferBlocks array which is declared immediately before PrivateRefCount. (Or maybe your compiler is laying out these objects in a different way from most people's compilers and we're overwriting past the end of some other object routinely but yours is the only place where it's being laid out preceding a critical data structure) -- greg -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
