That particular error message spelling only appears in sysv_shmem.c, so it's not directly DSM's fault. The comments around PGSharedMemoryDetach strongly suggest that it ought to be a no-op if called twice, which it originally was but fails to be since the addition of the munmap call. So I'm *very* strongly tempted to add "AnonymousShmem = NULL;" there and in IpcMemoryDetach. But it's not evident why we've not seen this behavior many times already, so I'd kind of like to find out what's different about Chris's use-case before assuming that that will fix it. 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
