I think that's Microsoftese for ECONNRESET, ie, the kernel bounced a packet for lack of any listening process to deliver it to. The real question is what's causing the collector to fail (the "could not read"). While it'd be easy to make it retry read attempts, the reason it considers that FATAL is that it really should never happen. I'd like to find out exactly what's happening before we try to fix it. As Kevin mentioned, adding some more debug printout would be helpful. regards, tom lane
