The postgresql database backend was killed by the system
last night because the system was running out of memory.
This might be because someone ran an out of control query,
or it might be something else.
I notice that there is a backup process running that has
been running for a while. I've not seen this before and
it might have something to do with the problem.
I've restarted the database. It may be slow for a while
while it recovers. Write if there are further problems.
FYI, we did not get a backup last night. Otherwise backups
seem to be working fine.
Has this happened before? I seem to recall some problem
some 6 months ago? The Postgresql people have fixed some
memory leaks since we last upgraded. It may be that we
simply need to restart the database backend every quarter
or so until we next upgrade.
