The database is never killed with the -9 and I have no problems with my
hard disks or memory...
Is it a bug that can be fixed? I can create a DB with the same tables
and do a 'copy from/to' to transfer the data.
'Cause it is a large DB (tables with more that 1 million rows) , I would
do this if I have no other option left...
