Thread: Postgresql 7.1 Beta 5, Postmaster dead

Woke up this morning and my DB was no longer accepting connections.
The postmaster had stopped running.  Here are my log files, the old
one first.

--- old log ---
Lock file "/usr/local/pgsql/data/postmaster.pid" already exists.
Is another postmaster (pid 450) running in "/usr/local/pgsql/data"?

--- fresh log ---

Any thoughts what may have casued this?  This database has been
running uninterupted for days, although it may have had a bit more
traffic today.

Thanks!

Not from that amount of data.  Are there any core-dump files laying
about?
