Hi,
When I created the trigger file to activate the standby server,
I got the segmentation fault:
sby [11342]: LOG: trigger file found: ../trigger
sby [11343]: FATAL: terminating walreceiver process due to
administrator command
sby [11342]: LOG: redo done at 0/10000E0
sby [11342]: LOG: last completed transaction was at log time
2000-01-01 09:21:04.685861+09
sby [11341]: LOG: startup process (PID 11342) was terminated by
signal 11: Segmentation fault
sby [11341]: LOG: terminating any other active server processes
This happens in the following scenario:
0. The trigger file is found.
1. The variable StandbyMode is reset to FALSE before re-fetching
the last applied record.
2. That record attempts to be read from the archive.
3. RestoreArchivedFile() goes through the following condition
expression because the StandbyMode is off.
if (StandbyMode && recoveryRestoreCommand == NULL)
goto not_available;
4. RestoreArchivedFile() wrongly constructs the command to be
executed even though restore_command has not been supplied
(this is possible in standby mode).
---> Segmentation fault!
The attached patch would fix the bug.
