Hi,
We have a multi-threaded Windows server process (C++) that writes data to a PostgreSQL database server using the 11.1 PostgreSQL ODBC driver.
This works smoothly pretty much everywhere except for one system, where the server process seems to crash on a regular basis inside the PostgreSQL ODBC driver, about every 10 minutes.
We have a crash dump that I've been looking at, but since I don't have access to the symbols (I tried this approach, without success), I can't determine why/how the driver is crashing. I do however see in the stack trace that crash is happening in the ConfigDriver() function:
psqlodbc35w!ConfigDriver

We've also let the application run under the application verifier, and the crash happens again, in the ConfigDriver function. I'm not sure what this function does, and why it's having having to configure the driver after issuing an INSERT statement (which I believe the code does). A few more things to help triage this:
* An earlier version of our application works just fine, even though there have been no changes to the database code
* We tried different versions of the ODBC driver (including older ones, 9.6), it crashes with those too
* It works everywhere else, it only fails on this one system
I realize that this is not enough information to immediately come up with a solution, but I'm hoping that somebody can provide me with some ideas on how to get to the bottom of this.
Thank you,
