Now you've got my attention ;-) ... this is completely at variance with my theories about the cause of the problem. Destruction of a theory is usually a sign of impending advance. > I am going > to put the debug build in place and see if I can still reproduce. Good. I am dead tired and am about to go to bed, but if you can reproduce with a debuggable build then I would definitely like to crawl into it tomorrow. At this point I do not have the faintest idea what might cause the problem to go away, so if possible I'd urge you to do the minimum possible work on the system overnight. Alternatively, if you can spare the disk space, make a tarball copy of the whole $PGDATA tree while you have the postmaster shut down. Then we can study the problem offline without worrying about your live application. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
