The problem here, is a lot of programmers "start-stopping" the database
continuosly... :( And I can't make anything, because they need total
control over the database.
Here it is a bit of log after start the database in her actually state:

FATAL 1:  The database system is starting up
DEBUG:  proc_exit(0)
DEBUG:  shmem_exit(0)

And make this, to 20 backend processes!!.

Tom say me to run "initdb", but... If possible to clean this wal's???

Thank you very much from here to Tom and the rest of pg-admin people.

Regards, Manuel.
