Scott,

Well, there've been a lot of issues with anti-virus and postgresql not
getting along.  I wonder if pgsql takes out a stronger lock, and when
it can't get it then the failure happens.  Not familiar enough with
windows to do more than speculate.

without touching the file-concurrency issues caused by virus scanners:

a LOT of the Postgres <-> VirusScanner problems on Windows were caused during the "postgres spawns a new process and communicates with that process via ipstack"

Many Virus Scanners seam to have dealt with the TCP/IP stack in a not compatible manner...
