We have Postgresql 7.2 under Redhat 7.2. Postmaster can be started and we can use it without problem. However postmaster will terminate abnormally after 1 or 2 hours and leave no error messages. Next time we brought it up and it will stay for some time time and then shutdown by itself. The following are the log that we put into a file. Please advice what problem may cause this.
