We use streaming replication to a different server on different
hardware. That server had been up for 300+ days and just had an incident
of:
LOG: consistent recovery state reached at 226/E7DE1680
WARNING: page 0 of relation base/805208133/1274861078 does not exist
CONTEXT: xlog redo insert: rel 1663/805208133/1274861078; tid 0/1
PANIC: WAL contains references to invalid pages
LOG: database system is ready to accept read only connections
CONTEXT: xlog redo insert: rel 1663/805208133/1274861078; tid 0/1
LOG: startup process (PID 2308) was terminated by signal 6: Aborted
LOG: terminating any other active server processes
We've rebooted that server now and restarted the replication. We'll see
how it goes in a few hours.
I'm still very interested in hearing any hints you guys may have to how
I should debug these problems.

That program has been running for 24+ hours now, and everything just
works as expected, so still no luck in reproducing this problem.

P.S. Sorry about the double post with different subject - my initial
post was held up for several hours due to putting "Help" in the subject,
so I thought I had been discarded by a list admin.
