Re: Reproducible "Bus error" in 9.2.3 during database dump restoration (Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS)

x86_64, PostgreSQL 9.2. is run within an OpenVZ container and generates
SIGBUS.
PostgreSQL 9.1 has no such problem.

(OpenVZ is a linux kernel-level virtualization which adds namespaces for
processes, networking, quotas etc. It works not like e.g. Xen or VMWare,
because all containers share the same kernel.)
