        Neither I believe it because the machine is well tested (including a
24h memtest). But there is something I can't get of my mind: once a day my
app "forces" PG to "play" with some 3GB of disk data in a ext2 fs. It is
known that sometimes ext2 corrupts data...

        Thanks for the effort! :-)
