I just tried to run initdb with the latest CVS snapshot but initdb
segfaults, i.e. some programs inside do:

Vacuuming template1
Segmentation fault
Segmentation fault
Creating public pg_user view
Segmentation fault
Segmentation fault
Segmentation fault
Creating view pg_rules
Segmentation fault
Segmentation fault
Creating view pg_views
Segmentation fault
Segmentation fault
Creating view pg_tables
Segmentation fault
Segmentation fault
Creating view pg_indexes
Segmentation fault
Segmentation fault
Loading pg_description
Segmentation fault
Segmentation fault
Segmentation fault

Is this a known problem? Or do I have a local problem on my machine?

Michael

I got a in-progress patch in the tree a few days ago, but reversed it
out in a few minutes.  You probably have a copy from then.  cvs update
should fix it.

Department of blame where blame is due: it was my bug not Bruce's ...
I fixed it about 11pm EDT last night.
