[postgis-users] gpc lost database connection - how to debug?

[Paul Ramsey]

Firstly, run postmaster from the commandline, so you can see the stderr
log. 
Secondly, attach gdb to the actual postgres process which your psql
connection has caused to the spawned (attaching to the postmaster will
tell you nothing).
