RE: [HACKERS] pg_user backtrace -- with ElectricFence (looks useful :)

Well, my Makefile.custom is this:

CFLAGS= -I$(SRCDIR)/include -I$(SRCDIR)/backend -O2 -g3
LDFLAGS:=-lefence $(LDFLAGS)

and I run the backend directly with:

postgres -D <datadir> template1

Of course, I wouldn't compile the postmaster frontend with electric fence if
I wanted to use it, since efence slows down programs incredibly, and causes
them to eat up large amounts of memory. Perhaps this is what is happening to
you?
