Concur. I have some inertia to overcome on that, however. Meanwhile,
I need to get the old jalopy back on the road.

The pg_log file is only 4 Mbytes. The database is not very active; fewer
than 100 records per day get stored. Is such a wraparound still possible?
If so, how would I detect it and/or fix it?

Does that version still support AIX?
Thanks,
