I have reported this bug before. It happerns of 7.3, 7.3.1 and 7.3.2. Having done some further research on the bug.. I have discovered that the following tranaction (which can be run from a script) with crash the back end.
BEGIN; SET CONSTRAINTS ALL DEFERRED; UPDATE location set phoneid = NULL, streettype = 1 where id = 3639; insert into customer (rating,addressid,switches,bookingmess,dispmess,salesrep,status,company,invoiceformat,invoicecode,paymentmode,terms,servicecharge,bull_desc,waittime,creditlimit,transactionlimit,alias,keep,delme,direct_debit,tariff,paymethod,id,billingaddress,acctype,accnum) values ('1',3639,FALSE,'','','',0,'PETER CHILDS',0,1,0,30,15,'',5,0,0,'',FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,1,1,4133,3639,0,992); COMMIT; Output from script is BEGIN SET CONSTRAINTS UPDATE 1 psql:crash:4: server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request. psql:crash:4: connection to server was lost This only happerns when you have the following trigger (at bottom) on the database. The trigger is attached to pratically every table. If anyone has any more questions PLEASE ASK. This is getting quite fustrating and I would like a answer soon!
