"Invalid frontend message" means the server got a message with an unexpected first byte, which usually means the server and libpq got out of sync about where the message boundaries are. It's been quite a long time since we've seen an actual bug of that sort, though. The cases that I've heard of recently involve multiple threads in an application trying to use the same PGconn without any interlocking. You can't have multiple queries active on a single connection, but libpq itself doesn't contain any locking to prevent multiple threads from trying to use the PGconn at once. If you're getting this with a single-threaded client, please submit a test case to pgsql-bugs. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
