Hi, (I have't gotten any response to this on pgsql-admin@, so I'm resending it to pgsql-general@... sorry for the annoyance.) I'm installing Postgresql 7.4.2 on an OpenBSD/sparc64 computer running OpenBSD 3.5. Postgresql builds fine, and all of the regression tests pass (when I use MAX_CONNECTIONS=10), except for the stats test. the end of results/stats.out is: -- let stats collector catch up SELECT sleep('0:0:2'::interval); everything up till and including that matches expected/stats.out... but the test simply stalls there. Unless I manuall kill the process, the postmaster simply keeps soaking up CPU time indefinately. A look through the three log files didn't turn up anything that looked like it was related to the the stat's system. :-\ Any ideas? -Vik -- vikram vinayak kulkarni Every civilization must contend with an vkulkarn@brownforces.org unconscious force which can block, betray http://vvk.brownforces.org or countermand almost any conscious intention of the collective. -Bene Tleilaxu Theorem ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
