Re: Server v7.3RC2 Dies

I have done
reindex table <the tables>
but still can not COPY. I have tried COPYing 4 or 5 different tables
without success. I guess my database is corrupted if no one else
encounters this same problem. If so, please ignore this problem as I can
rebuild the database though it takes much time.

How magic postgreSQL is! The log looks like postmaster is able to be
reborn by itself.
