FWIW, with the fflush() added after that sleep, and the fix to the long long computation of sleep time to keep it from overflowing, pg_autovacuum has been working flawlessly on my FreeBSD 4.9 + PG 7.4.0 production server. I'm just still playing with tuning pg_autovacuum to keep it from vacuuming my busy tables *too* often. Just a question: will my test program show negative sleep 'diff' on your linux box? I can't imagine that it would give different results than on freebsd. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
