[Pgpool-general] pgpool 2.2.4: DEALLOCATED children

[Agustin Almonte Ferrada]

Hi,

I'm testing pgpool 2.2.4 with some problems.... i hope someone can  
help me to figure out what the problem is.


I have two backends that unfortunately have diferences, that's the  
initial scenario when i started pgpool, everything goes well for some  
seconds but after a while a lot of error come out:

And then everything stop working....


Is this a normal behaviour when backends are diferents? What can be  
the reason for children going to DEALLOCATE state?
