Re: WARNING: dup(0) failed after 3195 successes: Bad file descriptor

Hello list,

I'm getting this error as well. I'm running XP Pro, with SP2 (RC2). Until
just now I had PostgreSQL 7.4.1. As far as I could tell, everything was
running fine...then as I was updating some tables I started getting errors
(sorry I didn't record them). I had my whole database backed up, so I tried
to delete the database using "dropdb" so I could reload the backup, but the
dropdb command just hung there and did nothing...

I tried cleaning out the whole PG data folder, and reinitializing. It seemed
okay...I could run "createuser", but it hung again with "createdb". Next I
installed PostgreSQL 7.4.3. I got through the setup okay, and the services
appear to be running fine, db initialized okay, and I could create new users
as before, but the postmaster.log still has the same "dup(0)" error, and it
still hangs if I try to create a database.

Earlier this week I installed the second release of XP SP2 - I suppose that
could have something to do with it. Did the others with this error find a
solution?

Kind regards,
Michael Leahy

AFAICT, no.
