The following bug has been logged online:
Bug reference: 2371
Logged by: Brock Peabody
Email address: brock.peabody@npcinternational.com
PostgreSQL version: 8.1
Operating system: Windows Server 2003
Description: database crashes with semctl failed error
Details:
The full text of the error message is:
FATAL: semctl(167894456, 4, SETVAL, 0) failed: A non-blocking socket
operation could not be completed immediately.
I have a program that inserts/updates/deletes a large number of records to a
large database (~100 GB). The program works, but after it runs for a few
hours it starts getting this error message. Once this happens the database
is unusable to all clients until it is restarted.
I found this documented bug:

but I'm not sure if it is related to my problem or not.
