Re: [HACKERS] pg_dump - segfault with -z option

Thanks Tom.

Yes, I am on 6.4. As to gdb, I really wouldn't know how to get the info you
request. The segfault doesn't result in a core file either.

There is nothing sacred about my project (supporting RADIUS authentication),
I'll happily send you my database creation scripts if you want to try making
this happen yourself. This is 6.4 as stated, running on a SuSE 5.3 (Linux
2.0.34) distribution. No problems running the database and all the build
tests work fine.

I have no permissions attached to triggers as far as I know; and the
permissions aren't complicated either. The segfault occurs when running the
dump as user postgres, which should have godlike permissions anyway...

Regards, K.
