Re: [HACKERS] Index corruption

Further to my problem: I've run the vacuum in a backend under the debugger and
at least figured out in which
loop the zillions of files are created. It is in md.c. In the stack trace
below, you can see that blockno has got a totally stupid value and in the loop
in lines 1049-1063 in md.c (v 6.5.3. sources) it opens zillions of files. If
anybody knows where this comes from I'd appreciate it. In the meantime I'll
try to dig a bit further.

Cheers,

Adriaan
