The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 2059 Logged by: Chris Storah Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.0.3 Operating system: Linux - Fedora Core 4 x86_64 version Description: PGConnect fails when used in a thread Details:
fe-connect.c in the src/interfaces/libpq directory is segfaulting when a PQconnectdb is called from a thread (works when called from the main application). fe-connect.c - parseServiceInfo is failing because no service option is being used in the connection string so service is NULL. The line that fails is the 'snprintf(serviceFile, MAXPGPATH, "%s/pg_service.conf", ...) line. If this is moved into the 'if (service != NULL)' section of code, everything works fine (as it is never called when no service is specified). ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
