Hello! Regarding the email I sent yesterday about a bug when running initdb in a Linux/Ultraparc machine, I want to add that I have found the problem. There is a simple fix for the bug that I detected. In the src/backend/utils/adt/name.c , the function nameeq(), will fail on linux/ultrasparc because sometimes strncmp will return -256, which when casted to bool, gives 0 What you do is return (bool) strncmp(...) == 0 and you should do return (bool) (strncmp(...)==0) because otherwise, if strncmp returns -256, the bool cast will make it 0, which is not what you want. I will send a proper bug report with the patch in a few minutes. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Silvio Emanuel Nunes Barbosa de Macedo smacedo@ic.ac.uk smacedo@inescn.pt Imperial College, University of London INESC Porto Intelligent and Interactive Systems Telecom. and Multimedia Exhibition Road, Pc da Republica, 93 London SW7 2AZ, England 4050-497 PORTO PORTUGAL Tel:+44 171 5946323 Tel:+351 22 2094220
