since I put in this patch: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2008-02/msg00270.php This is unfortunate and surprising, since that patch was intended to prevent compilers from making unsafe alignment assumptions, but it sure looks like this compiler has instead added a new one. Could you poke into it --- at least get a stack trace from the core dump? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
