The first entries are unrelated.  

> 2010-08-17 16:57:22 NZSTLOG:  unexpected EOF on client connection

This is a memory dump and could be unrelated (or maybe not).

> TopMemoryContext: 268428304 total in 26 blocks; 5528 free (22 chunks); 
> 268422776 used

The real problem is here:

> 2010-08-17 19:19:32 NZSTLOG:  server process (PID 6684) exited with exit code 
> 128
> 2010-08-17 19:19:32 NZSTLOG:  terminating any other active server processes

The rest is just noise about other processes being killed by postgres to
reset memory to a known-good state.

What you need to investigate is what caused that process to exit with
code 128.

PS: it'd be a good idea to append some whitespace to log_line_prefix, to
ensure that timezone NZST is separate from the "LOG" tag.
