Re: Seg fault in pg_dump?

["Michael Nolan" <htfoot@xxxxxxxxx>]

No, it isn't a debug-enabled build, and I don't think the debug symbols package is installed on that system.  I've never used GDB, I'm more of an 'applications' programmer, I may need a 'crash' course on it, if you pardon the pun.  However, if it's anything like the debugging tools I used to use when programming in assembler, aeons ago, just relinking the program with debug symbols in it could fix the problem.  :sigh:

This is on my new production system, I'm getting ready to migrate a backup system over to 8.2.3, I may be able to do some additional testing there, assuming I get the same failure.   

It doesn't appear that dumpall has the same problem, or at least it didn't abort when I dumped the entire cluster last night.  It doesn't fail when I dump that entire database either, just when I dump some of the sequences.

What else can I do to help track this down?

Not very helpful -- what does it say if you ask for "bt"?  I'm thinking
this is not a debug-enabled build though.  I think you have to install a
separate RPM package in Fedora to get the debug symbols.
