Обсуждение: BUG #1897: dmalloc memory error on PQconnectdb
The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 1897 Logged by: Wade Hampton Email address: wade.hampton@nsc1.net PostgreSQL version: 8.0.3-1 Operating system: Fedora Core 4 Description: dmalloc memory error on PQconnectdb Details: I have a multithreaded application using Postgresql and am testing for memory leaks. I compiled and linked with dmallocth. My PGconnect() is now causing a dmalloc abort. The error appears to be a calloc of 0 elements of 40 bytes in libkrb5, called from libpq. The connection is to: hostaddr = 127.0.0.1 dbname = mydb The same code with dmalloc works fine with Fedora Core 2.0, Postgresql 7.4.7-3. There was a report of a similar problem in earlier versions: http://www.mail-archive.com/pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org/msg08081.html

(1) Why is that a bug? calloc of 0 elements is explicitly allowed by the Single Unix Spec: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/calloc.html (2) If you do think it's a bug, why are you complaining to us rather than to the Kerberos people? regards, tom lane
hi, i have a problem when i run the initdb file, do you know anything? bash-2.05b$ /usr/lib/postgresql/bin/initdb -D /var/lib/pgsql/data The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres". This user must also own the server process. The database cluster will be initialized with locale C. fixing permissions on existing directory /var/lib/pgsql/data ... ok creating directory /var/lib/pgsql/data/global ... ok creating directory /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_xlog ... ok creating directory /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_xlog/archive_status ... ok creating directory /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_clog ... ok creating directory /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_subtrans ... ok creating directory /var/lib/pgsql/data/base ... ok creating directory /var/lib/pgsql/data/base/1 ... ok creating directory /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_tblspc ... ok selecting default max_connections ... 10 selecting default shared_buffers ... 50 creating configuration files ... ok creating template1 database in /var/lib/pgsql/data/base/1 ...

What PG version is this exactly, what platform are you running it on,
and what locale environment are you running initdb in? (For the last
question, show the output of "locale", or if you don't have that
program then "env | grep ^L".)
