(If you can do it in the next couple > of days, there's a chance the fix will make it to 8.3.4). I'm not sure how to go about creating a test case for this. I have had a nagging suspicion about a memory leak somewhere in this system (starting back with this thread: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2008-07/msg00048.php) but I really don't have any ideas on were to even begin with creating a test case. I did have a small test case with that thread (http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2008-07/msg00063.php) but that was based on my guess about the XML stuff causing the leak. I have no real proof of this, however, nor do I have any idea of a way to narrow down the problem. -- m@
