In one of our remote pgsql 7.4.2 installations (no tcp/ip, no mgetty dialin
works always), i got the above message.

The pgsql server restarted right away, but in the meantime a significant cron
job that just hapened to be executed between SIG7 and start, failed, and so
that triggered the investigation.

Could you think of a reason for this "signal 7" caught by the pgsql server?

Memory or other HW problem maybe?

Thank you.
