+1, assuming it can be made to work reliably and does not cause a larger reliability problem. I see the GNU extension to get backtraces, for instance, tries to malloc stuff in order to get a human-readable trace, which might not be all that great. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
