Hello,

I've often experienced crashes with the -F option, the script which fills my
database can never run completely. If any developper is interested, I have
a dump file (about 2 Mo gzipped, directly produced from pg_dump) which
is crashing on a create index with the option -F set, and is working fine
without it.
My configuration is : Linux RedHat 6.0, Kernel 2.2-15, PostgreSQL 6.5.3,
64 Mo RAM.

Alain
