I've had two separate reports with the same error when using initdb, part of PostgreSQL. These don't occur on an older snapshot when using PostgreSQL 16.4 (the version in -current), so something outside of PostgreSQL in -current in the last few days seems likely to be the cause. I will be doing some testing, but my guess is, the older version of PostgreSQL (16.3) also has the same issues on -current. Does anyone have an idea of what could have caused this? Thanks, Jeremy
