Well, FWIW, I have been working lately on a bug hidden in a custom background worker on Windows that crashed in some weird way with a 0x000000C5, and while I have a reproducible test case I have not yet found the time to look at it yet but I would think that this is generating a core dump, and that I will need to use windbg for that. Hence count me on the -1 team. >> You can't even install Debugging Tools for Windows and Windbg standalone >> anymore. >> >>> >>> 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 ;). >> >> >> I disagree.

Well, there is indeed not much, but it is used.
