Hi all, Since the "fix" for varchars in "SELECT INTO" I'm getting a core dump on initdb when initializing the database. I've tracked this down to the "REVOKE ALL ON pg_user FROM public" step. Looking at the (not compiled with -g) core I see. (gdb seems to be broken on S/Linux as I can't get a backtrace) GDB 4.16 (sparc-unknown-linux), Copyright 1996 Free Software Foundation, Inc... Core was generated by `postgres -F -Q -D/usr/local/pgsql/data template1'. Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault. Reading symbols from /lib/libdl.so.1.8.3...done.

I'm currently trying to build on SPARC-Solaris2.6 but it's a major struggle due to the changes in "dynloader" and "tas". (configure no longer works) Keith.
