I had one the other day caused by server resource issues: I ran out of
file descriptors when I had a very large surge in activity.  Pg
rightfully panicked and disconnected all my clients.

Only the well written ones recovered automagically. I had to restart a
handful of services :-(  It is wise to put the effort to testing your
client recovery strategy does work.

I must say that I haven't had a Postgres crash due to Postgres bug
since version 7.2 or so.
