pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly.
This probably means the backend terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
We have lost the connection to the backend, so further processing is impossible.
Terminating.

If someone has an idea ?
i read in a post archive that a can not recover this error, i must
dump/restore :(
i think id'better upgrade to 7 ... but this is the prod server, i can't shedule
an upgrade like that for now :(
the database seems to work, cannot do a vacuum, but seems to be slower,
so i will upgrade to 7 in 1 or 2 days
thanks
