Hmm ... yeah, it's not too hard to imagine a bug leading to trying to grab content locks on more than 100 buffers, for example. Patch applied, although I reduced the severity from FATAL to ERROR. I don't see any reason to think we'd be unable to recover normally from such a bug --- do you? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
