PostgreSQL version: 8.3beta2
Operating system: Linux (Fedora Core 3) 2.6.17
Description: query yields "could not find block containing chunk",
then server crashes
Details:
I installed PG8.3beta2 and created a db instance using pg_restore. (The
dump was created using the pg8.3beta2 pg_dump util, from a db on a pg8.1
server). Data restored with no errors, later our app encountered an sql
error while querying data in the db. Here's the relevant log snippet:
