The autovacuum log was: > LOG: database system is ready to accept connections > LOG: autovacuum launcher process (PID 3788) was terminated by exception > 0xC0000142 > HINT: See C include file "ntstatus.h" for a description of the > hexadecimal value. 0xC0000142 is STATUS_DLL_INIT_FAILED Apparently this can mean insufficient heap space.

As for the failed restart, maybe the code that detects a conflicting shared memory block could use a retry loop somewhere. -- -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
