It would help if you knew what system call was causing the problems. There are a number of options for getting that; truss is probably easiest if you have KTRACE enabled in your kernel. Otherwise, try getting postgres built with the '-g' flag (if it isn't) and running the apropriate process - probably postmaster - under gdb. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
