Hi Nicolas,

can you check PostgreSQL logs? I'm not familiar with Arch Linux but I
guess it might be /var/log/postgresql.log or something like that.

Is there anything relevant in the logs?

Can you explain what is the application doing? Can you try to prepare a
simplified testcase, based on your knowledge of the app?

kind regards
Tomas
