Postgres problems with large databases. - Mailing list pgsql-general

Greetings,

I'm encounting some strange problems trying to use postgres on a table
with a fairly substantial amount of records (~1 million).

The problem comes when you try and select a record from the database.
Postmaster in debug mode complains whole heartedly about resource errors,
and after that, everything goes downhill (everything from postmaster crashes
to index corruption).  This occurs both with 6.5.3 and 7.0.2.

Any pointers/ideas?
