Yes, crashes are logged in the server log. There's support for
automatic recovery and restart after a crash, so it's quite plausible
that you're not seeing anything if you're not paying attention.
Sessions that were running prior to the crash are terminated, though, so
if you keep connections open, you'd notice because they would no longer
work.
Crashes should certainly not happen routinely. If they are, you have a
problem that's worth investigating.
