I just wanted to repost this one more time in case developers didn't
catch it. I have a reliable way to make postgresql crash after a
couple of hours over here and a backtrace that looks like a good
catch.

My apologies if this one time to many, I won't be posting it again.

thanks for your time,
-Alfred

This time I'm pretty sure I caught the initial crash during an update:

I disabled the vacuum analyze and still got table corruption with a crash:

two crashdumps of 7.0.2+somepatches

Now I think I have the intial spot where it all goes to pot (the
initial traceback). I really appreciate the continued help and
pointers that I've been given and was wondering if someone could
help me out a bit more.

sorry for being such a pain and if any other info is needed please ask.

thanks for you time,
