Severity : serious

Problem Description:
--------------------
I run a number of processes which are adding records to a database using the C++ interface. Then, run a few processes
whichread a couple of records from the database (same table). After a while (an indeterminate amount of time), all the
processeshang. I have to kill them all and the postmaster process and restart it all to get it running again. This is
veryconsistent. I can supply my sample code. It happens on Linux with the same exact code. the only difference is
thatI am using Postgres version 6.3.2 on Linux. I am in the process of evaluating Postgres to be used for a ver
importantproject. If this cannot be fixed, I will have to abandon Postgres as a possible candidate.

Test Case:
----------

immediately.
