Re: Win32 hard crash problem

I'm a bit fear to to engage into this thread, but I've seen also
reproducible case when libpq client stops working and 'vaccuum analyze'
helped. It's happened on Windows Server 2003 and XP with PostgreSQL 8.1.4.
I don't have client source code, so I can't say more, but customer's developer
said the same behaviour was observed on Linux with 8.1.0 and has gone in 8.1.4.
They said, that this happens only with enabled row statistics.
Client inserts some data in transaction, backend writes 'COMMIT' to log,
but client wait something and 'vacuum analyze' of all database in some
magic way pushed the process.

I've got their installation CD and will try to investigate this problem.
Any suggestions ? I'm not familiar with W32 at all.
