Re: Problem with data corruption and psql memory usage

Hello Tom!

I don't think this is a hardware problem. Machine runs 24/7 for around 4
years without any problems, daily backup with GBs of data to it,
uptimes to the next kernel security patch, etc.

The only problem I could believe is:
I'm running the FC7 test packages of postgresql in FC6 and maybe there is
a slight glibc library conflict or any other incompatibility.

Ciao,
Gerhard
