I guess it would still be good to know why it crashes. I think the reason you're not getting a good backtrace is that you're attempting to get it from the client process, which is not the guilty one here. Same for the ulimit setting: you have to apply it to the session running postmaster, not psql. The core file should be located in your "data" directory. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
