Re: Server crashing

Well, a vacuum on the entire DB seemed to have cleaned things up.

No other user was logged into the server, and I certainly did not send
the signal.

I did clean up the serverlog file by truncating it ( > serverlog)
while the DB was running, I don't think it liked that since it crashed
the DB.   I've done this on my Linux server many times and it never
complained.  I won't be doing that again.
