8.2 instance that won't come up after shutdown - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi

We have a PG version 8.2  instance that won't come up after shutdown. The log shows the following:

2009-06-12 21:39:02.669 MDTLOG:  database system was shut down at 2009-06-12 20:56:51 MDT

2009-06-12 21:39:02.928 MDTLOG:  logger shutting down

We tried to set the autovacuum parameter value to off but unfortunately it did not help

1. Is this bug defined for the 8.2.4 code line also (We know that it is defined for 8.1.X) 2. How can we recreate the
problem?
3. Is there a fix for that bug?

Any help will be appreciated.

Best regards,
