I'm sorry, can't resist, but this has to be *the* dumbest reply to these sort of questions. What makes you think it *only* happens when linux freezes(btw, I suspect my NVIDIA-driver to be the problem on my laptop, not Linux itself). Still - PG *should* handle that situation too, it's like a power outage. I've been using Linux exclusively since '96 and PG since 6.5, so I don't consider myself a novice in neither. Why PG doesn't use locking *is* definitely a -hackers thing. -- Andreas Joseph Krogh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Senior Software Developer / Manager gpg public_key: http://dev.officenet.no/~andreak/public_key.asc ------------------------+---------------------------------------------+ OfficeNet AS | The most difficult thing in the world is to | Hoffsveien 17 | know how to do a thing and to watch | PO.
