dup(0) failed after 3195 successes: Bad file descriptor
At startup this appears in the log:
WARNING: dup(0) failed after 3195 successes: Bad file
descriptor
What does it mean?

Hmm. What system is this on? What errno code corresponds to
"Bad file descriptor"?
This is coming from
thisfd = dup(0);
if (thisfd < 0)
{
/* Expect EMFILE or ENFILE, else it's fishy */
if (errno != EMFILE && errno != ENFILE)
elog(WARNING, "dup(0) failed after %d successes: %m", used);
break;
}
I would suppose there is another EXXX code we have to allow to pass
without comment, but I don't know from your report what it is.

It's on windows xp home edition. I just upgraded
cygwin and postgresql to 7.4.3 - the warning didn't
appear in the log previously.

That would be EBADF I think. However, my linux manpage indicates it's
not a possible return from dup, only from dup2. Very odd.

HPUX man page says that it's a valid dup() error when the *supplied*
descriptor is bogus. Which is surely not true for zero (stdin) and
is even less plausible given that the previous 3195 iterations of this
tight loop had no problem with the same supplied descriptor.
But CSN says in a followup that this is on Cygwin. In short, what we
got here is another Cygwin bug [yawn]. I'm inclined to do something
like
if (thisfd < 0)
{
/*
* Expect EMFILE or ENFILE, else it's fishy; and Cygwin has
* a fishiness level all of its own...
*/
if (errno != EMFILE && errno != ENFILE
#ifdef __CYGWIN__
&& errno != EBADF
#endif
)
elog(WARNING, "dup(0) failed after %d successes: %m", used);
break;
}
unless someone can point to another platform that does the same thing.
(Hey -win32 hackers: does the native port exhibit this behavior?)
