Continuous archiving fails

Hello everybody

While testing a continuous archiving setup using PostgreSQL 8.2.3, on Debian
Etch amd64, I found out that the slave database crashed when I did a 'DROP
DATABASE' on the master.

I was trying to stress test our setup, by continuously restoring a dump of
our database, dropping the database, restoring it etc.
But when I dropped the database I found out that the slave database crased,
leaving log messages like these:

....
LOG: restored log file "000000010000004F000000F0" from archive
