I decided we needed to change from a P100Mz to a nice P3 800 Mz running RH
7.1. Compiled 7.1.2 with g++ version 2.96 and all the regression tests came
out fine.

When trying to copy data I get the following message.

pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly.
        This probably means the backend terminated abnormally
        before or while processing the request.
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed.

Can anyone point me in the direction for fixing this? I'm not even sure what
is causing this.

Following is the table, COPY statement and the file.

create table ldTraffic (
  billmonth CHAR(4),
  cust_num  CHAR(8),
  location  CHAR(4),
  date      TIMESTAMP,
  orignum   CHAR(10),
  destnum   CHAR(10),
  destcity  CHAR(10),
  deststate CHAR(2),
  duration  NUMERIC(8,1),
  callcode  CHAR(9),
  cost      NUMERIC(10,4)
);

COPY ldTraffic FROM '/usr/local/apps/callDetail/import.head';
