That actually worked... I recreated that file with the contents that I mentioned below and everything came back up. Very interesting that that file was empty after the crash.
Great, now I just have to find out why the file was empty.
This couldn't be a case of bad memory could it? I'm more of a user of Postgres and it happens surprisingly often there---i.e. PG misbehaves, user goes away and runs a RAM tester and it reports some bad memory. Symptoms are about right; code running for a reasonable amount of time with what (in my experience, but not sure if this applies here) is normally a regular workload and spontaneously something breaks. -- Sam http://samason.me.uk/
