Short Description
An statement causes postmaster to die

Long Description
I am having a problem trying to run an update on my database. The SQL that causes the problem is listed below, as is
somedata from the tables used. 

The message I see is one of the following.  It's either:

Server process (pid 22322) exited with status 11 at Sun Apr 22 16:14:15 2001
Terminating any active server processes...
Server processes were terminated at Sun Apr 22 16:14:15 2001

or

        Please reconnect to the database system and repeat your query.

I am running PostgreSQL 7.0.2 on Linux 2.2.16 using an Intel Celeron 333 and 128Mb RAM.

Sample Code
isp=> \d domain_tbl
         Table "domain_tbl"
 Attribute |    Type     | Modifier
-----------+-------------+----------
 domain    | varchar(80) | not null
 ident     | varchar(5)  | not null
 max_email | integer     | not null
 username  | varchar(10) | not null
 added     | timestamp   |
Indices: domain_tbl_ident_key,
         domain_tbl_pkey

isp=> SELECT * from domain_tbl where domain='test.domain';
   domain    | ident | max_email | username |         added
-------------+-------+-----------+----------+------------------------
 test.domain | test  |        10 | sean     | 2001-04-22 16:17:22+01
(1 row)

isp=> update domain_tbl set max_email='15' where domain='test.domain';
pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly.
        This probably means the backend terminated abnormally
        before or while processing the request.
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed.
