Hello,

Excerpts from Torsten ZÌhlsdorff's message of mié ago 11 02:52:34 -0400 2010:
Bad system call (core dumped)

I think you should try harder to generate the core file.  Maybe you have
too low an "ulimit -c" setting?

The kernel message indicates that core *is* being dumped.  Possibly it's
being dumped in the $PGDATA directory, which initdb will rm -rf on
failure.  Try using initdb --noclean.

So... yesterday night i was able to change the SyS-IPC Settings and restart the server. Good bye 216 days uptime :D

After that i recreate the jail from the scratch and compiled PG 9.0 Beta 4 again. I've compiled PG with:
$ ./configure --enable-debug

InitDB is:
$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data/ --noclean
Running in noclean mode.  Mistakes will not be cleaned up.
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "pgsql".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale en_US.ISO8859-1.
The default database encoding has accordingly been set to LATIN1.
The default text search configuration will be set to "english".

Please notice, that after changing the IPC-Settings of the system, no core-file is dumped anymore. Quiet interessting.

Greetings,
Torsten
