Re: Possibly corrupted shared memory, PostgreSQL 8.1 beta2, Windows 2000

Yes, there is an antivirus software on the machine, a reboot is needed when
it's turned off,
I'll be allowed to reboot it tonight or I'll do it sooner if it crashes
before that.

There are around 15 connections to PostgreSQL when it crashes but most are
idle
there may be a few inserts but no bulk inserts, the biggest load would come
from
select statements.
