Hi, I am running Postgres 8.3.7 on Windows 2003 with my java application.Off late, the server crashes with the following trace:
*2009-07-01 14:47:07.250 ISTPANIC: failed to add item to the right sibling in index "mevservices2_ndx"* *2009-07-01 14:47:07.250 ISTSTATEMENT: insert into MEVSERVICES(NSIP,EPTIME,VSVRSVCNAME,VSVRNAME,VSVRSVCENTITYTYPE) values ($1,$2,$3,$4,$5)* This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.

Is this is a bug in postgres and is this related to the discussion mentioned in the thread below: http://www.mail-archive.com/pgsql-hack...@postgresql.org/msg87557.html Thanks.
