i will be reinstalling this SS20 with a full installation sometime in the next few days. i will re-run the testsuite after this to see if that is causing any of the lossage. Please let us know. actually, i had a classic i could test with -- all except horology passed, so if there were two expected failures there, all is fine on NetBSD/sparc. ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])

digging into the regression.diffs, i can see that: - reltime failed because it just had: ! psql: Backend startup failed The postmaster log file should have more info, but a first thought is that you ran up against process or swap-space limitations. The parallel check has fifty-odd processes going at its peak, which is more than the default per-user process limit on many Unixen. hmm, maxproc=80 on this system currently and i wasn't really doing anything else. it has 256MB ram and 280MB swap (unused). exactly what am i looking for in the postmaster.log file? it is 65kb long... ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://www.postgresql.org/search.mpl

Look for messages about "fork failed". They should give a kernel error message too. after running `unlimit' (tcsh) before `make check', the only failures i have are the horology (expected) and the inherit sorted failures, on NetBSD/sparc64. i also believe the `Bad address' errors were caused when the test was run in an NFS mounted directory. .mrg. ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly

CREATE INDEX hash_i4_index ON hash_i4_heap USING hash (random int4_ops); + ERROR: cannot read block 3 of hash_i4_index: Bad address "Bad address"? That seems pretty bizarre. This is obviously something that shows up on _some_ NetBSD platforms. The above was on sparc64, but that same problem is the only one I see that Bad address message was actually from sparc. ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://www.postgresql.org/search.mpl

That seems pretty bizarre. This is obviously something that shows up on _some_ NetBSD platforms. The above was on sparc64, but that same problem is the only one I see in the regression testing on NetBSD/vax that isn't just different floating point (the VAX doesn't have IEEE), different ordering of (unordered) collections or different wording of strerror() output. NetBSD/i386 doesn't have the "Bad address" problem. -tih -- The basic difference is this: hackers build things, crackers break them. ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])

That seems pretty bizarre. This is obviously something that shows up on _some_ NetBSD platforms. If it's reproducible on more than one box then we should look into it. Am I right to guess that "Bad address" means a bogus pointer handed to a kernel call? If so, it'll probably take some digging with gdb to find out the cause. I'd be happy to do the digging if anyone can give me an account reachable via telnet or ssh on one of these machines. 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])
