Re: Postgres Crashes

After reproducing these crashes and running tests long enough, we found
that these Postgres Crashes happen on linux 2.4.18 and not on linux
2.4.25. In all likelihood, this is a kernel (or driver) issue.

Could you kindly ensure this gets on my mail thread with subject "Postgres
Crashes".

Thanks
Prem.
