FreeBSD Port: postgresql-server-8.4.8_1

[John Bleichert]

Hello,

I'm getting a bad system call error (and a core file) when I try to  
initdb:


boogie:/var/log mkdir /usr/local/pgsql/data
boogie:/var/log chown pgsql /usr/local/pgsql/data
boogie:/var/log su - pgsql
$ /usr/local/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user  
"pgsql".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.
The default database encoding has accordingly been set to SQL_ASCII.
The default text search configuration will be set to "english".

Suggestions? Shall I hit the postgresql forums? I thought I'd ask here  
first.

Thanks,
