Hi
I am running Postgres 8.2 on Windows 2003 server SP2.
Every now and then (2-3 times a year) our Postgres service is down and we need to manually start it. This is what we find:
In log when going down:
2008-06-02 13:40:02 PANIC: could not open file "pg_xlog/000000010000001C00000081" (log file 28, segment 129): Invalid argument
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

We are archiving WAL-segments at a remote machine, and we are copying non-filled WAL-segments every 10 minutes to be able to rebuild the DB with a maximum of 10 minutes of missing data. (I don’t know if that has anything to do with it).
Does anyone have a clue on what the problem could be?
