Hi there,
I think I may have discovered a minor but annoying bug in PostgreSQL.
PostgreSQL version 7.1.3
with openssl-0.9.6b
readline-4.2
Compiled under Solaris 8 with SPARCWorks compiler.
Started with command:
postmaster -D /export/pgsql/data -i -l
Attempting to connect via an SSL aware psql client machine that doesn't
have a PRNG seed causes the backend to generate a Segmentation Fault.
A little digging around found to culprit in
src/backend/postmaster/postmaster.c @ line 1115
the ERR_reason_error_string(ERR_get_error()) in the fprintf statement.
Remove it from the fprintf and all works fine.
Apart from that PostgreSQL is great!
Many thanks,
Steve
