    Slip number -----: 12
    Problem ---------: postmaster -oF crashes backend
    Opened by -------: dave@flaterco.com on 07/24/99 14:07
    Assigned To -----: tgl

    Summary:
    Version:  CVS checkout Sat Jul 24 08:45:06 EDT 1999
    
    nameless:~$ postmaster -oF -S -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
    nameless:~$ createdb foo
    Connection to database 'template1' failed.
    pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly.
            This probably means the backend terminated abnormally
            before or while processing the request.
    
    createdb: database creation failed on foo.
    
    
    It works fine without the performance enhancement switch -oF.

    The correct spelling of the switch is "-o -F", not "-oF".
    I agree that passing bogus backend switches should produce
    a more helpful error message, however.
