        Hi all

        Back in 2010 I submitted a small feature to allow the creation
        of minidumps when backends crashed; see
        commit dcb09b595f88a3bca6097a6acc17bf2ec935d55f .

        At the time Windows lacked useful support for postmortem
        debugging and crash-dump management in the operating system
        its self, especially for applications running as services.
        That has since improved considerably.

        The feature was also included in 9.4


    Ahem. 9.1. This is what I get for multi-tasking between writing
    this and packaging an extension for 9.4.


In which version(s) of Windows was this improvement added? I think that's really the part that matters here, not necessarily which version of PostgreSQL.

Hi all!
I think that you can debug crash dump since windbg exists.
Also I think that Postgres on Windows number of instalations is so tiny because people even today think that it is not so solid as unix version thats why you think that nobody use your code ;).

Today if my memory serves me right this code can not deal with buffer overflow. Am i right? May be we need to add this functionality instead of drop support of it entirely?
