WAIT. Do you mean you get a kernel panic? Or the box locks up tight? Or
the box reboots?

Or does Postgresql crash?

Or does the linux box complain about a bad hard drive and stop running
postgresql?

If linux is crashing, that is NOT postgresql's fault. An app can't crash
an OS without root level access, and Postgresql ain't got that.

This sounds like you are using an older pgaccess on a newer postgresql
database. Once upon a time, apps could connect to template0. That is no
longer the case.
