Ah, must have been the changes in backend/access/hash/hashovfl.c.
Although i never got a PANIC, only an ERROR. I cross my fingers to keep
de DB up and running without any data corruption (besides of indices)
until the weekend. So a PANIC and backend crash would be possible ?
Hopefully under rare circumstances ? Can somebody confirm this ?
