I tired but it breaks in the Postmaster and not in the backend process that
is created for each process.

Why not just the following
gdb postmaster
Set one ore more breakpoints where you think the problem might be, then type 'run'.
Start the client and with a bit of luck gdb will break atthe breakpoint set.
You may need to do this a couple of times until youhave found the right area in the code.--------RegardsTheo
