I'm using pg_dump/pg_restore to quickly copy databases between servers. But my server keeps crashing when I run pg_restore:
glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x0a00b1a0
Postgres: 8.1.4
Linux: 2.6.12-1.1381_FC3
glibc: 2.3.6-0.fc3.1
Server: Dell
CPU: Xeon 2.80GHz
Memory: 4 GB
This is pretty repeatable. Any particular pg_dump file that causes the crash will cause it every time it is used, and it happens with a lot of my databases.
What can I do to help diagnose this problem?
Craig

Either dig into it yourself with gdb, or send me a not-too-large example
dump file (off-list)...

Hmmm ... after moving to our production server, four hours of work copying a dozen databases, there hasn't been a single glibc problem. The development server is Fedora Core 3, the productions server is Fedora Core 4. Unless it happens on FC4, I'm diagnosing that it's a glibc bug or incompatibility that was already fixed.
Thanks,
Craig

[ squint... ] I find that explanation pretty implausible, but unless
you can reproduce it on the production machine, I suppose digging
further would be a waste of time ...
