It might be worth checking if the problem appears on the client side; that is, given a psql running on Windows, do local-equivalent-of-kill-9 on the connected backend, and see if psql notices. (Hm, although if it's idle psql wouldn't notice until you next try a command, so it might be hard to tell. Maybe kill -9 while the backend is in process of a long query?) regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
