10061 is "connection refused". Windows will give this when the client
hangs up the connection. So from the perspective of PostgreSQL, your
appserver closed the connection. Most likely, your appserver crashed
*first*, and that caused the message with postgresql.

If not, my best bet would be some firewall or antivirus software, on
either the db server or the appserver. Do yo uhave any of those
running?

A different verison of the shared memory patch has been applied and is
in the current releases of 8.3 and 8.4. If you are sure you are
experiencing that problem, I would suggest you upgrade.

However, that's just the shared memory problem. Which is a secondary
problem to the connection closed one, that prevents the system from
properly restarting after a failure.
