We couldn't find what 1614690 is?

2005-02-18 07:58:29 LOG: could not fsync segment 0 of relation 1663/17269/1677179: Permission denied

These two messages are repeated every seconds for almost 2.5 hours
Again, we couldn't find what 1677179 is?

We are on Windows 2000 Server, Service Pack 4 and
were successfully running PostgreSQL 7.4.1 before that.

We have done a vacuum, analyze and reindex on pgdepend and pgtype and restarted PostgreSQL
a few times, we had no problems doing that but the error messages are still there.

Is this normal and if not, how do we fix that?

Thanks
Jean-Pierre Pelletier

p.s.: We also have messages "FATAL: could not read from statistics collector pipe" approx. twice an hour.
