I am seeing a slow but steady growth of the backend process on a Linux box (RHL 8.0) --- top shows it growing a few K every few seconds.
But I see *zero* growth with the same test on HPUX 10.20.
A possible wild card is that the Postgres build I'm using on the Linux box is compiled for profiling (-pg, no --enable-debug or --enable-cassert) whereas the HPUX build has --enable-debug and --enable-cassert but no profiling. I'm not aware that there's any known memory leakage in Linux' profiling support, though.
Can anyone else reproduce this, or confirm they don't see it? What platform, and what configure options?
I have tried it on our Ultra Sparc 10 running Debian (Woody).
Same problem.
The postmaster starts at around 2.2mb and keeps allocating memory :(
Maybe I can test it on AIX within the next two weeks (still waiting for the machine to come).
Regards,
Hans
