So in particular, you didn't disable memory overcommit? > LOG: server process (PID 501) was terminated by signal 9 If you didn't issue a manual kill -9, then this is almost certainly a trace of the kernel OOM killer at work.

Memory overcommit is evil on a server. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
