Hi Merlin,
I have seen similar symptoms myself recently, however I have been
running PostgreSQL quite rarely - mainly I've been compiling it and the
installer. I'm beginning to think it's the msys console, as a) that
seems to be the common thing running when this happens, and b)
occasionally when I shutdown I get a message saying rxvt couldn't be
terminated.
Regards, Dave
