One thing we are seeing with this move to the new hardware (and rhas 4)
is database connection processes that are left over by users who have
exited the application. I've attached to these processes via gdb and
find they all have the same backtrace. Any insights into what might be
causing this issue would be appreciated. Understand, we did not have
this problem on the previous hardware running on rhes 3. Here is the
backtrace:
#0 0x00ba47a2 in _dl_sysinfo_int80 () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2
#1 0x0019f1de in __lll_mutex_lock_wait () from /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0

/usr/local on RHEL should only contain software installed directly from
source - what exactly is pcm170/libdalkutil ?
It is a third party package that we have build into the backend.
pcmiler. We do not have source to it though.
beside that - is pg actually compiled with debugging symbols on that
platform ?
Not yet, I'm building it now, but I was hoping that the limited info
above might get us some insights. I plan to try and recreate the
problem and reproduce a more useful backtrace after rebuilding
postgresql with debugging symbols.
