Finger points that way, but still can't see any specific reason for that. More likely to be an uncommon race condition, rather than a error specific to dungbeetle. If startup process death is slow, this could happen, though hasn't occurred in other tests. Given the shape of the patch, the likely fix is to bump NUM_AUXILIARY_PROCS by one. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com PostgreSQL Training, Services and Support -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
