Ok - we are restructuring the application, so that now, we can get
away with a primary key field of just an INTEGER, rather than the two
BIGINT columns. Also, because of the restructure, we don't need to
check for the existence of a duplicate record before insertion, so we
can now create the primary key once all of the data has been loaded.
As expected, our loading doesn't exhibit the problem now with the
above change.
Incidentally, we had a customer being hit with this problem yesterday,
on their own hardware, which was an AMD64 dual core 4200 with 4 GB of
ram running 32 bit XP pro.
I will create the JIRA entry in the next day or two - the fact this
has now been seen on an external site on completely different hardware
/ OS shows we are probably dealing with a software issue.
Thanks for thorough job in reporting this problem.
