All seemd to build OK, and I managed to create a test database
under the user 'postgres'.
When I run the psql tool to connect to it, the client dumps core.

Sorry for the spam; I searched a bit before posting, and saw others
who had the problem, but couldn't find a fix.--

iofflush seems to be the offending function - anyone else resolved this?
I *really* don't want to have to use MySQL , mainly because of its
GPL license.

Server keeps ticking:

========================================
[postgres(at)cartman pgsql]$ pg_ctl start
postmaster successfully started up.
[postgres(at)cartman pgsql]$ DEBUG: Data Base System is starting up at Fri Dec 1 12:07:44 2000

DEBUG: Data Base System is in production state at Fri Dec 1 12:07:44 2000
pq_recvbuf: unexpected EOF on client connection
========================================

The client dies horribly, a backtrace shows:
