That's just bizarre. How can you get a network timeout over the loopback address? Your data modem is probably doing something funky to your network stack, but I don't know what. Can you connect to PostgreSQL over a UNIX socket when the system is in this state? Does stuff continue to show up in the log file? (e.g. If you send the postmaster a SIGTERM while it's like this, do you see shutdown messages?) -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
