Well, gdb is lying to you to some extent (you'd probably get a better backtrace if you had built libpq with debug symbols), but I think it's simply waiting for a query response. Is the connected backend busy? If the problem is that some query is taking way longer than you were expecting, the first thought that comes to mind is "did you ANALYZE your tables after reloading", and the second is "check for configuration settings that you forgot to propagate into the new installation". 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
