Well you still have not said what the differences between the 'normal'
and 'problem' servers are.
Some questions to start:
1) What are the Postgres versions of the servers?
2) Where are the different servers located, remote or local?
3) Are the notifications the same?
If they are what are they?
If not how do they differ?
