6.3.1: Core during initdb on SVR4 (MIPS)

Hi, just got me the complete 6.3.1 tarball. Compilation and installation went smoothly for the most part. Problem is, that the backend dumps core during the initdb run. Here is the transscript (see the 'Abort' below, vacuuming template1). postgres@utensil (9) $ bin/initdb initdb: using /home/tools/pgsql-6.3/lib/local1_template1.bki.source as input to create the template database. initdb: using /home/tools/pgsql-6.3/lib/global1.bki.source as input to create the global classes. initdb: using /home/tools/pgsql-6.3/lib/pg_hba.conf.sample as the host-based authentication control file. We are initializing the database system with username postgres (uid=121). This user will own all the files and must also own the server process. Creating Postgres database system directory /home/tools/pgsql-6.3/data/base initdb: creating template database in /home/tools/pgsql-6.3/data/base/template1 Running: postgres -boot -C -F -D/home/tools/pgsql-6.3/data -Q template1 Creating global classes in /base Running: postgres -boot -C -F -D/home/tools/pgsql-6.3/data -Q template1 Adding template1 database to pg_database... Running: postgres -boot -C -F -D/home/tools/pgsql-6.3/data -Q template1 < /tmp/create.6347 vacuuming template1 Abort creating public pg_user view loading pg_description I then pulled the core into dbx and got the following info. postgres@utensil (16) $ dbx ../../../bin/postgres core dbx 2.1A00 SINIX (Apr 6 1995) Copyright (C) Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Base: BSD, Copyright (C) The Regents of the University of California All rights reserved reading symbolic information ...
