PostgreSQL version: 7.4

Operating system:   Linux Mandrake 9.2 2.4.22 SMP

Description:        message type 0x49 arrived from server while idle

Details:


The problem is not occuring very often, 3 times in a week.  A <ps -Af> is
showing the connection "idle in transaction".  pg_autovacuum is running.

This is a new install on a new dual Xenon machine.  The process which
received the message is running on Solaris/Perl 5.6.1 using DBI 1.30 and
DBD::Pg 1.22.

The PGSQL version on Solaris is 7.3.3, but that shouldn't matter?
