Hi all,

I don't know if it is correct list but I don't know any another.

I use postgres 6.3.2, Linux 2.0.33, 64 MB RAM.
Every night (in crontab) I dump my database. But every dump-ing
I have 'segmentation fault' message (by e-mail).

When I run it (dump-ing) from command line, after a while
I have core dump. And just before that I cannot do anything
else - I have message 'cannot load interpreter' - when I try to do
eg. 'ls' in other console.

What's wrong with pg_dump ? My database is big - 'du' shows
over 300 MB. Is that problem: too big database ?
