crappy disk drives and bad windows file systems, nothing more. postgresql is
rather corruption free when the surrounding hardware and software environments
are well chosen.
if you do have to use cheap disk drives/controllers, then a battery backup
unit that shuts the server down automagically is a really really good idea.
getting that IDE cache flushed is pretty high on the priority list.
