Re: postgreSQL 7.3.3 crashing on server with Itanium processor...

Thanks, after installing all the updates, including newer (not new) kernel,
it seems to work right. I suspect it was an old library problem.

[raises eyebrow]  Does RHL 7.2 claim to support Itanium?  Especially SMP
Itanium?  That release was awhile back, I believe, and I'd not be
surprised at kernel bugs that show up with such hardware.

If you've got a fully up-to-date kernel and have eliminated the theory
of memory problems, please send us debugger stack traces from a few of
the crashes.  (The traces will be more useful if you first rebuild with
debugging symbols enabled, which I think is not the default with the
RPMs.)
