Re: Problem with PITR Past Particular WAL File

Can you get a stack trace from the core dump reported here?

  Certainly, how can that be obtained?

$ gdb /path/to/postgres-executable /path/to/core-file

gdb> bt

gdb> quit

If you don't find a corefile in $PGDATA (or wherever your system puts

core files) then you probably need to restart the postmaster with

"ulimit -c unlimited" to allow producing a core.

If the "bt" output is just numbers and no symbols then it won't be of

any use; in that case you'll need to find or build non-stripped Postgres

executables.
