Having debug symbols would be more useful, but unless the binary is totally stripped, a backtrace might provide enough info without that. Try it and see if you get any function names in the trace, or only numbers. (BTW, does Debian have anything comparable to Red Hat's debuginfo packages? You might be able to get the debug symbols without having to recompile for yourself. Recompile is a bit of a pain since you have to take care to match the original compilation options exactly.) 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
