    The  crash he reported this time looks like a backend dumping
    core.  I wonder how he killed the postmaster  the  last  time
    and if he by doing it with -9 corrupted the database?

    The entire discussion is somehow pointless. Tell some Riksha-
    puller to compare his Riksha with this brand new Ferrari, and
    wait  his comments after the test drive. He'll probably won't
    get the damn thing moving, and if, it'd be a hell of a  ride,
    so  he  will  tell  you  that  his  Riksha  has a much better
    handling and the Ferrari *crashed*.
