Re: exit code -1073741819

Hi, Tom,

One more question. I'm new to PostgreSQL and not an expert in debugging. After checking the manual, I think I need to turn on the following parameters in order to generate debug info. Do you think doing so would give us what we need to pinpoint the problem?

debug_assertions
trace_notify
trace_sort
debug_print_parse
debug_print_rewritten
debug_print_plan
debug_pretty_print

Thanks.

However thepart of it that you've shown

doesn't indicate any particularly heavymemory usage. Were there any large numbers in the preceding similarly-formatted lines? Was there anything possibly relevant in the logentries before that?> 2007-07-10 12:25:57 LOG: server process (PID 2004) exited with exit code -1073741819I suppose you're on Windows? This is what is currently printed for anAccess Violation trap on Windows. The fact that it came out partwaythrough a stats dump is pretty suspicious; it suggests that the traphappened as a result of trying to scan the memory context bookkeepingdata, which implies a memory clobber of some sort.So you're looking at a bug, but there's much too little data here toguess what the bug is. Can you get a debugger stack trace? Or puttogether a self-contained test case for someone else to poke at?Actually the *first* thing to do is make sure you are up to date onboth Postgres and PostGIS versions. No sense in spending a lot of timechasing down a bug if it's already been fixed.

regards, tom lane
