Power off on a dev machine ;)
Does the dev machine run more than one postmaster?
No.
I've occasionally
seen similar issues when restarting a clutch of dev postmasters ---
the kernel may assign a shmem id to one of them that belonged to another
one in the previous cycle, and if you already started that other one
then the second gets confused. 8.0 and up have a test that should deal
correctly with this; what version did you see failing exactly?
This is on my personal dev machine and I am running 8.1Dev.
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake
