Re: Core reported from vaccum function.

Hello Alvaro,

Thanks for your reply.

We could see
"Fix potential-data-corruption bug in how VACUUM FULL handles UPDATE
chains (Tom, Pavan Deolasee) " in 7.4.17 release notes.

Could you please elaborate more on the above problem.Meaning what was
the actual problem and what fix has been done etc?

Thanks a lot for all your help/time.

Thanks,
Prasanna.

There are about 15 rounds of bug fixes released after that version.  Get
7.4.17 and try again.
