Description:        Backend crash while doing nothing...
Details:

Hello, poor dear debuggers,

I just found my Postgres server silent when I tried to connect again to my
lovely server, and noticed it had been shut down with the following message
in the log:

2009-08-09 19:57:01 CEST [2208] LOG:  server process (PID 8384) was
terminated by exception 0xC000013A
2009-08-09 19:57:01 CEST [2208] HINT:  See C include file "ntstatus.h" for a
description of the hexadecimal value.
2009-08-09 19:57:01 CEST [2208] LOG:  terminating any other active server
processes
2009-08-09 19:57:01 CEST [2208] LOG:  all server processes terminated;
reinitializing
2009-08-09 19:57:02 CEST [2208] FATAL:  pre-existing shared memory block is
still in use
2009-08-09 19:57:02 CEST [2208] HINT:  Check if there are any old server
processes still running, and terminate them.

I had some Localization issues some time ago, so even if its not important
currently, all my locales are tuned to DE.

I'm not really a Windows guy, but I googled that exception code and
the winner is:

"0xC000013A: The application terminated as a result of a CTRL+C"

Not sure if that helps...
