how can I get read of that

Hi all

First, many thanks to all who helped with my crashes probs. Not fixed yet
but has been analyzed as a need to upgrade the BIOS.

Then as I said before, I have this problem with stats buffer I know have a
phantoom query:

As you can see, there was a stat buffer full at 18:31 and the process 6518
no longer exists but still shows up in pg_stat_activity.

How can I get rid of it short of restarting postgresql?
