If you didn't actually do anything to cancel the query, then this indicates that something is sending SIGINT signals to the backend process. I'd bet on a "ulimit" or equivalent resource-limit setting being tripped. Check what conditions the postmaster is being started under --- generally, you do not want *any* active ulimit restrictions on the server processes. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
