Yeah, I think you're right. We've probably not seen this because in most usages the buffer is always block-aligned, but it looks possible for tuplestore.c to get out of alignment if its concurrent write/read feature is exercised just so. Do you want to try demonstrating the bug with a smaller-than-normal setting of MAX_PHYSICAL_FILESIZE? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
