Hi,

We're running a Postgres 8.0.1 database and have a maintenance process that runs vacuum on selected tables every 10 minutes. Each table takes around 2-3 seconds to vacuum. Since we've started this process we've seen a lot of postmaster crashes (it says it received signal 9). It appears these crashes occur when we try to stop a vacuum by interrupting the vacuumdb process, but sometimes they occur without us having to do this.

Any ideas? We didn't experience so many database crashes before we started vacuuming regularly.

Regards
