PostgreSQL version: 7.4

Operating system: Linux Mandrake 9.2 2.4.22 SMP

Description: message type 0x49 arrived from server while idle

Details:

The problem is not occuring very often, 3 times in a week. A <ps -Af> is
showing the connection "idle in transaction". pg_autovacuum is running.

This is a new install on a new dual Xenon machine. The process which
received the message is running on Solaris/Perl 5.6.1 using DBI 1.30 and
DBD::Pg 1.22.

The PGSQL version on Solaris is 7.3.3, but that shouldn't matter?

Compiled from source:
PostgreSQL 7.4.1 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 3.3.1
(Mandrake Linux 9.2 3.3.1-2mdk)
