Maybe I'm restating the obvious, but it looks to me like the procedural
trigger from the SQL query "INSERT INTO logs
(seq,level,event_code,event_date,event_time,city,province,user_id,est_ds
p_date,est_dsp_time,country,edilate,carr_code,notes,trac_notes,order_num
)
VALUES ('2','6','TAS','09/14/06','19:"... is the culprit, probably 3-4
IF (or other conditional) statements in. Check this trigger to see if
it handles NULLs correctly.
Looking at the change logs
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/interactive/release.html) it looks
like there were significant fixes in 7.4.8. It's possible that this is
a known bug that has already been fixed.

Subject: [GENERAL] server resetting
Postgresql 7.4.7 (yes, I've been telling them we need to upgrade to the
latest 7.4)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3
We are having problems with the postgresql server resetting and dropping
all user connections. There is a core file generated and I've attached
a backtrace. I'm about to dig into the source to see what I can find,
but if anyone can put their finger on the problem, I would appreciate
it. I do realize that there is a call to exec_stmt() which appears to
have a null value being passed, which I suspect is the issue. Why a
null is being passed is what I plan to look into.
Thanks for any info, here's the backtrace:
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/libthread_db.so.1".
Core was generated by `postgres: bwoods exp [local] INSERT '.
