That sounds suspiciously close to the time from boot to wraparound of GetTickCount: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sysinfo/base/gettickcount.asp M$ list this as 49 days but that's the time to wrap clear around to zero; the value overflows and goes negative in 24.85 days if I've done the math correctly. My bet is something depending on GetTickCount to measure elapsed time (and no, it's not used in the core Postgres code, but you've got plenty of other possible culprits in that stack). BTW, are you sure this is coming from JDBC? I see the exact same message text in libpq: libpq_gettext("server sent data (\"D\" message) without prior row description (\"T\" message)\n")); Maybe the JDBC driver uses the identical message wording but my thought is to look for something going through libpq. > Any thoughts?
