Since this type of problem is fresh in mind: I wonder if the connection is SSL-encrypted and the session just crossed the 512MB-total-data-sent threshold. If so it would have tried to renegotiate session keys, and some SSL vendors have recently broken that functionality rather badly. Silent hangups seem to be par for the course. If that's it, your choices are to find an SSL library that has an actual fix for CVE-2009-3555 rather than this brain damage, or to update to this week's PG releases so you can set ssl_renegotiation_limit to zero. If you're not using SSL, just ignore me ... regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
