Running some process on Postgres 7.3.2 I consistently end up with a crash.
This happens on Linux RedHat 6.2, kernel 2.2
Here's the fragment from the database log.

The process is loading database with a large number of records,
it runs for about 20-30 minutes before it crashes.
Problem apparently originated in function MoveOfflineLogs (xlog.c)
At this point there are two files in the transaction log directory:
16777216 May 7 15:04 0000000000000008
16777216 May 7 14:55 0000000000000009
Does anyone have an idea why this could happen?
Thanks,
Mike.
