postmaster crash - Mailing list pgsql-bugs

Hi,

from time to time my postmaster crashes with the below mentioned errormessage.

I am using PostgreSQL 7.1.2 on sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1, compiled by GCC 2.95 on
a 4CPU/4GB UltraSparc II system.

The crash happened during a VACUUM ANALYZE which i perform every 30 minutes.
At the point of the crash i had several open client connections which tried to
fill one table (table1),by a 'COPY table1 FROM stdin.....'  simultaniously.
