As far as I could find by googling, this means that the process is not actually a zombie yet, so it's not the postmaster's fault. Apparently it's possible in some versions of AIX for an exiting process to get stuck while releasing its reference to a socket, though I couldn't find much detail about that. I wonder how old your AIX is ... regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
