I may need some time though, since I first need to find a way to reproduce the problem reliably on my test environments and right now I cannot seem to. I have seen the problem mostly under production loads (also under certain kinds of stress-testing, but I forget exactly which kind...) In the meantime I went and looked at the logs in more detail and the corrupted entries seem much more prevalent than what I originally thought. Apart from the ones pgfouine complains about there are many more such lines. For example out of a (average-load) day's log file with 17+ million lines pgfouine complains about 8 lines, but there are in fact 1400+ lines with these kinds of entries. George
