The error is intentional. The reason it's converted to a core dump is simply that the whole of recovery is run as a critical section, and so any fatal error is promoted to PANIC. We could think about a different rule about whether to force a core dump in these circumstances, but I can't say that I am very excited about it. I'd rather have the dump and not need it than vice versa. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
