Chris,
I feel your pain. Even though it is odd because all servers seem alike
in their problems, it smells like a memory problem. Was anything
changed just prior to your problems? Has everything been running fine
on this version of OS and postgres before this happened?
Another idea is that you are moving corrupted data, and once it gets
used some, it is messing things up, so the problems follow the data. Did
you see any strangeness when moving the data?
