Actually ulimit is unlimited for user postgres and when the server was

Swap:   369452k total,        0k used,   369452k free,  1626176k cached

I feel a bit lost, because it was running pretty well for the last couple 
months.  This table is a data stage table where some data are imported in from 
OLTP databases, this every day.  Indexes are dropped before inserting data and 
created when insertion has finished.  The structure didn't change since a while.

Daniel,

Was this 'free' output before or after the crash? Also, have you combed through /var/log/messages for anything interesting that happened around the time of the crash? Which postgresql version is this?
