The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 4738 Logged by: Jonathan Barnhart Email address: jdbarnh...@yahoo.com PostgreSQL version: 8.3.7 Operating system: WinXP, Vista Description: Cannot reconnect to shared memory Details:
This bug seems to have been reintroduced between versions 8.3.4 and 8.3.7. It is basically a race condition when the fork emulation for Windows is used. The problem is that the side of the "fork" that creates the shared memory to emulate the Unix fork is often executed AFTER the logic in the "forked" process that connects to the shared memory. The obvious thing that has to be done is to create the shared memory object and THEN spawn the child processes. Unfortunately, the logic in that area is not entirely straightforward with a number of dependancies. I'm working on patching this, but so far I have had issues with screwing up other order dependant code. -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
