You didn't say that, you said it froze. Please be more accurate about
your bug reports in future. A minimum requirement is that you give the
exact text of any error messages you get.
It does sound like you were seeing a postmaster crash. As Nigel
suggested, it would be very useful to see a debugger stack trace
from such a crash.
