Memory tests were run and no problems were reported. With MonetDB+bad memory I would expect to lose some data and no data was lost here.

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.
