Sorry about that. This is the same situation I was in myself couple
of times and "fresh exchange of info" was saving too -:)
Anyway it's good to know that it wasn't buffer/etc logic error -:)
(Actually, logs from you looked sooo grave so it becomes unclear
how WAL worked at all -:).
Nevertheless, subj is rised. BTW, does anybody know results of kill -9
in Oracle/Informix/etc? Just curious -:)
