I just had two independent database servers (8.4.4 and 9.0.0 on Solaris) crash AT THE SAME TIME with the exact same error. Reason? nmap.

I know the bug has already been fixed, but it's good to know anyway. --Al -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/Postgres-Crash-tp3299776p3888697.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - admin mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
