The two data files it accesses last are an 8KB and a 70MB postgres

out what is wrong. Maybe something here will trigger someone's memory.
Oliver,
If you're still trying to figure out why rdiff-backup is dying
randomly, here's another theory:
Perhaps you are running rdiff-backup with a low priority? (eg, nice
+10 rdiff-backup ...) In that case, my theory would be that some other
CPU-intensive (or HD-intensive) process is running at that time and
starves rdiff-backup while it is trying to compute the rolling
checksums for the rsync algorithm. In that case, rdiff-backup wouldn't
send enough data over the wire to prevent the connection from being
dropped.
