Confirmed here. I configured Postgresql to handle 200 connections and used a perl test script to open multiple
connectionsto the database. The postmaster crashes consistently when the 182nd connection is opened.
select version();
"PostgreSQL 8.1.4 on i686-pc-mingw32, compiled by GCC gcc.exe (GCC) 3.4.2 (mingw-special)"
