Re: strange error

I tried it on a test RedHat server
PostgreSQL 8.0.2beta1 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7)
and the problem didn't occur. It is a slightly newer version, though,
so it doesn't prove anything. But the Gentoo is my production machine,
so I guess I'll have to figure out a way around it. I'll post again if
if I can figure out exactly where the problem is occurring.

Thank You
Sim

Gentoo eh? When you run a bleeding-edge distribution, sometimes you get
nicked :-(. I'm betting this is some weird kernel bug. You might try
another distro with tighter quality control.
