Look at the PostgreSQL server log to see what happened. On Windows, I
think this is in your  PostgreSQL data directory.

(List members: This seems to confuse Windows admins a lot - they're not
used to application log files, apparently. Is it worth having the win32
version of the server report sudden backend death via the Windows event
logging system, with a reference to the Pg log file? I'm not sure, since
it's not clear that most Windows admins look at Event Viewer either...)
