Excerpts from Jeremy Palmer's message of mar ago 17 22:59:08 -0400 2010: > > I'm getting infrequent backend crashes on a windows instance of PostgreSQL. The error I get is in the log below. It seems to relate to the share memory each time. Does anyone have any ideas what the problem is here, or what additional things I can do to get more information out next time the backend crashes? > > I'm running PostgreSQL 8.4.4 on Windows server 2003 Standard. The first entries are unrelated. > 2010-08-17 16:57:22 NZSTLOG: unexpected EOF on client connection This is a memory dump and could be unrelated (or maybe not). > TopMemoryContext: 268428304 total in 26 blocks; 5528 free (22 chunks); 268422776 used > Local Buffer Lookup Table: 2088960 total in 8 blocks; 501416 free (22 chunks); 1587544 used [snip some more] The real problem is here: > 2010-08-17 19:19:32 NZSTLOG: server process (PID 6684) exited with exit code 128 > 2010-08-17 19:19:32 NZSTLOG: terminating any other active server processes The rest is just noise about other processes being killed by postgres to reset memory to a known-good state. What you need to investigate is what caused that process to exit with code 128. PS: it'd be a good idea to append some whitespace to log_line_prefix, to ensure that timezone NZST is separate from the "LOG" tag. -- Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.
