The following bug has been logged on the website:
Bug reference: 13286
Logged by: Maxim Boguk
Email address: maxim.boguk@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 9.4.1
Operating system: Centos Linux
Description:
Once per few days database getting core dumped during cron run of the
following query:
/usr/pgsql-9.4/bin/psql --no-psqlrc --single-transaction -d postgres -tx -c
"SELECT pg_terminate_backend(pid),now(),now()-xact_start as duration,* from
pg_stat_activity where (now() - pg_stat_activity.xact_start) > '1200
second'::interval and usename NOT IN ('postgres') and state<>'idle'"
I enabled collecting core and installed debug files for postgres.
There are gdb backtrace of the latest core:
Core was generated by `postgres: postgres postgres [local] SELECT
'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
