[sorry for the repost...lists down? Problem may or may not be on win32 version only] The catalog number was updated, so it was time to run initdb.
Sometime over the weekend (or since the last initdb I ran, about a
week), the source was updated which caused an AV & CRASH during
initdb...specifically during pg_depend step. Also, after initdb fails,
the files are removed but the folders are not, causing subsequent
attempts to initdb not to work...is this the expected hehavior?
No. The code currently does this on Windows:
snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "%s /s /q \"%s\"",
rmtopdir ? "rmdir" : "del", path);
system(buf);Originally I had a builtin routine (see http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql-server/src/bin/initdb/initdb.c?rev=1.1&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup ) but Bruce felt shelling out to rm/rmdir/del was easier. I guess this needs tweaking a bit.
I have no idea what caused the pg_depend stuff to crash.
