Just to help me understand, do you think val-grinding this time is
near-to-useless, and I'd better restart the daemon under helgrind, or you
prefer I continue valgrinding while you helgrind?
I feared uttering the words "race condition" would have been doing just
like the patient telling the doctor what he does want to hear as a
dyagnosis... now that I see you are looking for missing syncs I think we
share this gut feeling... Please let me know if I can help more, since
I'm somewhat in the hope this dreaded shared memory 8 way system could
very well shake the races... As a matter of fact, the destination server
is a twin-brother of the source one, and is running (and logging to
postgresql) without any hiccup since started-up.
Thank you very much, yours,
lorenzo
