odd problem !

Hi there,

below is the problem I just bitten when play with toy db. I did:

1.initdb -D ./t1
2. pg_ctl -D ./t1 start
3. createdb test
4. psql test -c "create table a (f integer);"
5. run script which populates table a in background
perl bgupdate.pl &
6. cp -a ./t1 ./t2
6. pg_ctl -D ./t1 stop
it's waiting for bgupdate.pl, so I killed script
7. pg_ct -D ./t2 start
see, that everything is fine.
8. pg_ctl -D ./t2 stop
9. pg_ctl -D ./t1 start
10.

pg(at)zen:~/test$ psql -l
List of databases
Name | Owner | Encoding
-----------+----------+----------
template0 | postgres | KOI8
template1 | postgres | KOI8
test | postgres | KOI8
(3 rows)

11.
pg(at)zen:~/test$ psql test
FATAL: database "test" does not exist
psql: FATAL: database "test" does not exist

So, how it's possible ?

Regards,
Oleg
