POSTGRE CRASH AND CURRVAL PROBLEM HELP! - Mailing list pgsql-general

Please, i need help desperately.

Im running postgresql 8.1.9 on windows 2003 server standard edition service pack 2. intel pentium 4 3.2 - 1 gb ram
I have 5 databases in this server  and they all have action all day ( inserts, selects etc )

i have 2 problems.

First, postgre crashes many times in the day and we have to restart the service to keep working. i created a log using the database conection class with php. when a query makes an error it logs in a txt file. i will show here the errors that im getting and i dont know what they mean.

i tryed to reindex all the databases but the error keep ocurring in all the databases.
as you can see im getting the error: could not open relation xxxx/xxxxxx/xxxx: Invalid argument  in queries that should execute normaly.

how i can solve this problem?
This maybe the cause that postgre crash or these errors ocur because postgre crash and cant complete the query?
what whould cause postgre to crash in my server?

Now the second problem.

i always used nextval to insert autoincrement values, and currval to get the inserted value.

after i backup one of the databases and restore ( just it, backup and restore in the same server ) the curval function stoped to work and i get the following message:

2007-08-19 17:18:43||/labrsangioro/forms/cad_combo_temp.php||ERROR:  currval of sequence "cod_combo_seq" is not yet defined in this session
||SELECT * from tb_dados_combo WHERE cod_combo=currval(' public.cod_combo_seq') AND desc_opcao='ss'

Notice that it always worked, and i aways call nextval before call currval. Here is a sample of my code:

    $query="INSERT INTO tb_atendimento VALUES(nextval(' public.tb_atendimento_cod_atendimento_seq'),$convenio,$local,$cod_medico,$cod_paciente,'$obs_atendimento','0','$hoje_1','$ano_mes','$valor_total','$valor_subtotal','$urgencia','0','0','1','$horario_urg','$paciente','','0','$hoje_1','0','0','$total_desconto','$tipo_desconto',$cod_tabela,$Usuario,'$hoje_1',NULL,NULL,'$acao','$domicilio','f','1','$pago',NULL,NULL,'','','','',NULL,'','$data_entrega','$observacao')";
    $db->exec_query($query);

    $query="SELECT currval('public.tb_atendimento_cod_atendimento_seq') as cod_atend FROM tb_atendimento";
    $db->exec_query($query);
    $currval_atend = $db->Regs();
    $currval_atend = $currval_atend[0]['cod_atend'];


so i have backedup and restored my 5 databases, in 2 of them curval stoped to work, and in the another 3, it work normal.

Im realy lost, someone help please.
