Me too on multiple Suns running Solaris 2.3 and 2.4 with Postgres 4r2.  I
get this at random times doing inserts (which do include text
columns--coincidence?).  Looks like the postmaster is aborting.  In my
case, I'm using pgperl to do data loads, and I get this error usually
700-2000 inserts into the load (which contains about 4200 records).  The
data that does make it in looks fine.  Any idea what's up?  Anyone using
text columns without incident?

Thanks,
