Yeah, a crash inside malloc almost certainly means that you've stomped on some of malloc's internal data structures, probably by overrunning the allocated size of some malloc'd data chunk. I'd suggest valgrind, ElectricFence, or similar for locating the offending code. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
