Hi all,

while playing with Npgsql I faced an
strange behavior of Postgresql server.

I have all the details of it and I thought it could be a severe security
exploit, so I don't send it in clear to this mailing list directly as, I
think, anybody with this information could Dos postgresql servers.

Please, send me information to where/who I should send the details in
order this can be fixed as soon as possible.

This is the log I get when I receive the problem. I think that as server
is killing all processes, any client which can do that can kill all
client connections to that server. That's why I think it is very dangerous.
