Hmm - a difference of 32, or a single bit (2^5).

For the column: amount(float 8)  1.20932764209866e-307 the
SELECT ascii(substring(amount,20,1)) from jnlsale WHERE id_jnlsale=28382

Sorry - this only applies to the text. I'd need to figure out the internal format of the float8 and see what happened.

Well, if all the textual differences are single-bit (1,2,4,8,16,32...) I'd suspect hardware. I can't imagine the kind of bug in PostgreSQL that would cause that kind of error.

I can imagine a faulty RAM chip or slowly failing hard-disk causing that kind of error though. I'd find a Linux live CD that supports memtest86 (or one of its spin-offs) and leave it testing your RAM for 24 hours or so.
